This European city is investing 100,000 Euros in tiny staircases to save cats– and the reason is heartwarming

Amsterdam is investing €100,000 to install hundreds of miniature wooden staircases along its canals, providing escape routes for animals like cats, ducks, and hedgehogs. Inspired by a successful project in Amersfoort, these ladders aim to reduce animal drownings and emergency calls. The staircases could also offer unexpected assistance to humans who accidentally fall into the canals.
