Catopia in Shah Alam is a park built for cats to safely play and relax. However, a TikTok user Ahmad Riyal (@keepitriyal) has pointed out that some irresponsible groups have made the space made for cats an unfriendly space for felines.

In the video, Ahmad Riyal showed children clambering and climbing on the playground meant for cats.

The families clearly disregarded the sign that the equipments were made for cats and not human children. Ahmad added that the playground was clearly not made with the safety of children in mind, pointing out the lack of guardrails and padded ground mats to protect children.

The cats here don’t like it when the kids play here too.

He also said that there are two children’s playgrounds next to Catopia and advised parents to take their children there instead.
