It’s not unusual to see stray cats walking the streets, but one particular stray kitty in Varna, Bulgaria, stood out among the rest.
This stray cat became known as Bulgaria’s famous emerald green cat, due to her striking, bright green appearance.

The people who lived in the seaside town grew to love the cat and got used to seeing her around, and tourists were completely enamored by her.
Passersby would take their phones and cameras out as soon as they saw her so they could snap a picture of the unique sight. Many would even feed the cat as they walked by.

Photographer Petko Dimitrov heard about the green cat from Facebook and became extremely interested.
Why was this cat green?
Many people assumed that kids had spray painted the cat, but Dimitrov wanted to investigate and dig up the real reason.

After speaking with many people who live in the area, Dimitrov learned that the cat had fallen asleep in an old barrel of non-toxic green paint at a construction site, which had turned her fur green.
And this wasn’t the first time it had happened; she had been green in previous years.
