Mushi and Cheesy might be two of the most well-travelled cats in Europe. They got a front row seat to 300 miles of beautiful scenery courtesy of owner Thomas Vles, who constructed a perspex kitty-mobile from an old bicycle.
To launch his company's range of biodegradable litter boxes, Vles cycled with his cats from Amsterdam to London.

It’s designed to connect all the major innovation hubs in the Netherlands in order to attract new start-up tech firms to what the Dutch government calls the “West Coast of Europe.” It’s a role she was tapped to play by the Prime Minister personally.
