I want to live in a country where “cats jumping out” is what they’re warning people about!
post
All I'm seeing is a warning about an army of super-cats flying ahead.
Everybody came here to say the same thing: I need that sign in my house.
In Paris, there was a spat of feral colonies going after tourists a while back.
Well. Once.
But I still think it’s funny to imagine it being a bigger problem.
A cat spawning from a bush made me fall from my bike once, I guess I would have paid more attention with a sign like that
A bunch of crows is called a gang iirc, is there a term for multiple cats jumping out at you?
Update: damn I learned a lot from you guys with the google and whatnot.
A group of crows is a murder, and ravens are an unkindness. Smart black birds were not named with politeness.
According to this random website (just one of the first results on Ecosia): "While clowder is the most common collective noun for cats, a group of cats is also called a cluster, litter (kittens of the same mother), destruction (wild cats), or nuisance."
First time I've heard any of those apart from litter, personally. There's also a pride of lions.

Saw another one of these in a Japanese Program. It does seem like they have these sings everywhere!
I've been in Japan a decade and don't recall ever seeing one of these. It says ネコ飛出し注意 cat jumping out caution.
God [...] flying out [...]
Warning
Hey I can read Kanji xD
"God"? I think something was lost in translation!
The radical 礻means god, when you see that radical being used, its usually a character that related to spirituality like 福 is fortune, which is related to the concept of the supernatural.
Here it's a katakana character purely used for the sound, in this case "ne," the first half of neko, for cat.
