The King of Kaszubska Street has become a hit with tourists

A chubby street cat has become the top-rated tourist attraction in a Polish city.

The black and white moggie – who is said to be a tad cantankerous – has stolen the hearts of tourists visiting Szczecin, northwest Poland.

Also known as the ‘King of Kaszubska Street’, Gacek lives in a wooden box and is fed by passers-by in the medieval city.

His name translates as ‘long-eared bat’ in Polish.

Though a ‘fantastically handsome and superb fellow’, Gacek is known to scratch or steal food when in a bad mood, according to locals.

Szczecin, close to the border with Germany, offers visitors a wealth of fascinating tourist attractions, including the Pomeranian Duke’s Castle and Kasprowicza Park.

But they pale in comparison to the grumpy moggie, who has earnt a near-perfect 5-star rating on Google Maps.

Gacek – who even has his own Instagram page – first arrived on Kaszubska Street 10 years ago and has slowly risen to stardom.
