Digul cu pisici, or 'The Cat Pier,' is a distinctive landmark in Mangalia that has become a sanctuary for dozens of local cats. This outdoor attraction allows visitors to walk along the pier, enjoy the sea air, and spend time with the feline residents, which are often found lounging among the rocks. The cats are supported by a community of volunteers who visit daily to provide care. While the pier is a favorite for families and animal enthusiasts, it remains a rustic spot with basic infrastructure and limited lighting, making it best suited for daytime visits. Bringing along some high-quality cat food is a common practice and a great way to engage with the local colony.

Digul cu pisici is widely celebrated by visitors as a heartwarming destination, especially for those who love animals. Many reviewers report encountering a vast number of cats, with some noting over 60 felines residing along the pier. The presence of dedicated local caretakers is frequently mentioned, and visitors are encouraged to bring food to help support the colony. While the overall sentiment is very positive, some guests point out practical drawbacks such as poor lighting and an uneven road surface that can make the walk less enjoyable. There are also occasional concerns mentioned regarding the health and welfare of some animals. Despite these issues, it remains a 'splendid' and unique spot for a coastal stroll in Mangalia.
