Coin operated vending machines dispensing kibble for streetcats are my favourite shared infrastructure discovery this week.

@jessie but how do the cats reach the coin slot?
-
@raymaccarthy @jessie in their purrs of course!

@jessie I have never seen such a machine, definitely not in Germany. Do they exist also elsewhere than Istanbul?
@tschach they're in Malta too, though typically you put your plastic deposit bottles in as payment instead of cash. Streets are cleaner, kitties (and other wildlife) get fed.

I love how one can count on the cats telling people to put coins in the machine. I'm shocked there isn't a cat demanding more coins in these photos.

@futurebird @jessie good point. Them and racoons
-
Average duration for a cat to find out how to guide a person to that machine: 0.01s
