The Colossus of Rhodes was a giant statue of the sun god titan from Greek mythology, Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, on the island of the same name, by the artist Chares of Lindos in 280 BC.
On TikTok, Abbie Louise shared a video that garnered nearly 5 million views, showing the thin cats in the streets compared to the enormous black cat that stands out.
Louise commented that she had never seen such a chubby street cat, but highlighted that Rhodes has several families that care for its well-being.
Greece is home to about 3 million street cats, which were often mistreated in the past. However, attitudes have changed, and it is now common for residents to feed the cats.
Projects like the Kalymnos Cat Project, founded by Leslie Frasier, have helped to sterilize the felines to control the population humanely. The goal is to implement a model of care and management of cats throughout Greece.
