Rider wraps cat around his neck for a bike ride<\/h2>\n

We Vietnamese have a common saying that goes, \u201cfashion above weather.\u201d Often, it\u2019s used to refer to someone who wears cool clothing during winter, enduring the cold for style points. However, the opposite \u2013 wearing warm clothing in summer \u2013 is less common. After all, the intense heat would prove too much for anyone to handle.<\/p>\n

It is understandable, then, that this motorbike rider was puzzled when he spotted a stranger wearing a scarf on the streets of Hanoi in the middle of summer.<\/p>\n

As it turned out, what he thought was a scarf at first, was just a cat perched atop its owner\u2019s neck<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to the original poster (OP), as he stopped at a red light on his way to work, he spotted a stranger clad in a T-shirt and shorts. Bizarrely, a floofy scarf-like shape was draped around his neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking to myself, \u2018What the hell kind of fashion is this?\u2019 when the \u201cscarf\u201d turned around and looked at me,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

It was only then that he realized the \u201cscarf\u201d was a cat lying on its owner\u2019s shoulders.<\/p>\n

Using a cat backpack is safer when taking cats out<\/h3>\n
\n

The cat in the story looks well-trained, and it\u2019s safe to assume that the owner has done this on many occasions.<\/p>\n

However, if you do plan on taking your cat out for a ride on your motorbike, we highly recommend using a cat backpack. No matter how well-behaved a cat is, loud noises on the streets can startle it, which could be dangerous for the cat, yourself, and other commuters.<\/p>\n

The adorable encounter early in the morning no doubt served to brighten Mr Ph\u00fac Nguy\u1ec5n V\u0103n\u2019s day a little.\u00a0Even we can\u2019t help but feel warmth in our hearts just by looking at the pictures.<\/p>\n

But at the end of the day, do remember to stay safe on the roads.<\/p>\n
