Beltine Piper: The Atlanta Kitty Who Lives in a Pipe

Atlanta is noted for its cultural icons and attractions like Coca-Cola, CNN and the Georgia Aquarium.

And now, Atlanta has Beltine Piper. The kitty who lives in a pipe near Atlanta's Eastside Beltine Park has made big news this past week.

So on Saturday, Rocco and I set out to meet the kitty who has his own address on Atlanta's Eastside Trail.

This portion of the Beltline Trail runs from N. Highland to Monroe   

We found Piper's home just south of North Avenue and north of the skateboard park along the Eastside Trail.

Rocco checks out Piper's spread, below... not too shabby for a cat who lives in a pipe. He's got his own mailbox, plenty of bowls of food and water and a nice blankie in the pipe where he rests. 

Piper was sleeping when we came by. Maybe he'll give us a heartier greeting next time .... maybe if we bring some food. Right Piper?!

Piper also has all the requisite social media addresses. Not sure what all the fuss is about with that. We all know dogs and cats and furry critters have ruled the interwebs since the beginning of time, right?! Piper, where's your Pinterest and Instagram accounts? MOL! 

Piper's mailbox is loaded with mail, but what the kitty really wants is food! 

Like our new pal Piper says, "stay frisky my friends." And till next time, *pawbump*.
