The Cat Island in Japan

Do you really love cat? I mean really love them that you'd like to be sorrounded and sinked by many of them?

In Japan there is a small island called Tashirojima, which lies along the coast of Ishinomaki.

The island is also called the "Cat Island" due to the large stray cat population that thrives as a result of the local belief that feeding cats will bring wealth and good fortune.

The residents kept cats to chase the mice away. As of today, the feral cat population outnumbers residents which don't exceed 100 people.

However, the residents and thousands of tourists who flock to Tashirojima every year do not mind being outnumbered by their feline friends. In Japanese culture, the cat is considered a good luck charm, said to bring money and good fortune to all who cross their path.
