Giant cat on Google Maps
''We were aware that cats were trying to take over YouTube, but we didn't realise it was extending to Google Maps. We're looking into this.''
A giant cat has appeared on Google Maps.
A pathway in the shape of a huge feline has surfaced on the online service, and bosses can't understand how the outline got to be in Hobson Bay in Auckland, New Zealand.
Google's head of communications in New Zealand, Annie Baxter, told Stuff.co.nz: ''We were aware that cats were trying to take over YouTube, but we didn't realise it was extending to Google Maps. We're looking into this.''
Although the cat looks to be made up of a series of paths near the coastline, the tracks don't actually exist.
Reddit user Poik12 has attempted to explain the appearance, insisting his friend 'drew' the feline on the service, which allows users to edit certain parts of maps.
