<p>A clowder of street cats in Taipei, Taiwan have recently got an upgrade of their dining situation with the “Midnight Cafeteria” project. The idea is to give the cats a place to rest while making feeding them less messy.</p>

<p>Launched in September, the “cafeteria” is actually 45 small wooden houses painted by Taiwanese artists and scattered across the capital.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The cat houses were a multiteam effort. Math teacher Hung Pei-ling began volunteering after a good friend rescued and raised a stray cat.
