On the internet, you can never have too many cats. Now, on two islands in Japan, a similar principle seems to be in effect. The islands of Tashirojima in Miyagi prefecture and Aoshima in Ehime prefecture are covered in cats – and tourists love it.
The two islands are gradually being taken over by cats as the aging populations on those islands gradually fall. Veterinary doctors regularly visit the islands to ensure that the cats are in good health, Otherwise, however, they are free to roam. Tourists have been arriving by ferry to photograph and feed the cats, and local ferry captains have reacted with great surprise to the influx of new tourists.
At the moments, island officials are trying to figure out what to do to make the situation best for both tourists and cats. The cats already have a plan, however – take over the world!

Are the an dogs on the island? A dog would really be "jacked up" if he visit the island--lol!
I think when the japanese are done fishing the oceans out, they'll start eating the cats
They are wild and there are hundreds of them. Was that really a question?
Load More Replies...If and whenever the "BIG CATS" become extinct then the "SMALL BIG CATS" would takeover as on these two islands in Japan.
T Think spay and neuter would be good and I hope this is not a front for cat meat.
