Nekojima (Cat Island)

Nekoshima (Cat Island: Neko = Cat, Shima = Island). Oh, how I would   LOVE to visit this place! Likewise, I would love to hang out in a Neko Cafe (there are many).

Dam that’s a lot of cats.??.I once had four,3 black and one Calico,but unfortunately they all died.My late mother had a huge phobia against cats.She couldn’t even look at a cat without freaking out..No one,including her ever really knew the reason for her phobia.

My cat allergy is acting up just by watching that video. ?

Fascinating! Those cats are very friendly and seem pretty friendly with each other too. Can't imagine it's always that way.

Notice several with short or docked tails. They all seem well groomed as well as well feed.

Disregard that preceding post... 

Clipped/cropped ears indicate a spayed or neutered cat.

Cats are highly revered in Japan (and, from what I've seen, South Korea as well, albeit without the folklore of the Maneki Neko [Beckoning Cat], which likely has to do with Imperial Rule from 1910-1945). 
There was Tama at the Kishi Station: a gorgeous Calico whose title and role was Super Stationmaster; her brother was there as well.

Speaking of cats,a large Bobcat was seen recently wandering around in an upstate NY cemetery.?

That Wikipedia article was my favorite thing I read all week.  Seems like she was very hard working, and really worked her way up the corporate ladder!

Must be a peaceful place for them. Notice they don't run away when he walks up to them. (Then again, it could be the bag of food he's carrying)

They seem to be cool with people around.
