A Dutch man has cycled from Amsterdam to London carrying his cats in a specially crafted perspex box attached to his bike.

Thomas Vles took on the challenge to officially launch his Poopy Cat range of disposable cardboard litter trays which can be assembled into playhouses for moggies.

Mr Vles shared images of his cats Mushi and Cheesy enjoying London tourist sites on social media, including Big Ben, Notting Hill and Covent Garden from the 'kittymobile'.

The trio also enjoyed pit stops at the Cats Musical and Lady Dinah’s Cat Emporium cat café.

Mr Vles set off on the journey three days ago and cycled through the Netherlands countryside before catching the ferry to the UK.

Pictures show the cat enthusiast cycling through British towns as perplexed passers-by look on.

A message shared on Instagram said: “The UK is treating us great so far. Sunshine and lots of happy people.”

Mr Vles was able to create his cat products following a successful crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
