A handful of Vancouver cats have been labeled as tourist attractions on Google Maps.

They're some of Vancouver's most paw-some tourist attractions. 

While cats are a common house pet, a handful of local kitties have earned their own tourist attraction listings on Google Maps. 

One fluffy white and orange cat likes to linger near Quebec Street and East 7th Avenue in Mount Pleasant. The kitty's name is Archie, according to Google, and it has a five-star rating. 

Another orange cat, a tabby named Barto, likes to greet passerby in the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood near Nanaimo Street and East 27th Avenue. Barto also has a five-star rating and his own Instagram account

"Barto is one of the cutest and the most gentle cats I ever saw in my life," one person wrote. "He is chatty and loves attention!" 

Nearby lives Dash, a handsome grey and white kitty cat that is "definitely the friendliest cat in the Fraserhood" according to one of the 14 reviews he's received. 

"Purrfectly rotund. Soft, fluffy. A must pat for any passerby," shares one person. "We had to wait in line to pet but it was a pawsitive experience overall," another adds. 

Marked as a religious destination on Google Maps rather than a tourist attraction is Blue the seemingly Russian Blue cat that lives near Dude Chilling Park -- another must-see Vancouver tourist attraction

"This kitty is so big and nice. He likes scratches on his head and cheeks," wrote one person. 

Over in Chinatown is another cat, however ,there are no photos, reviews, or information on Google other than the tourist attraction title which reads "friendly store cat." 

Surely locals have spotted a cute kitty peeking out a store window near Pender and Columbia streets.
