135Kviews
With his pictures, Japanese photographer Masayuki Oki captures the individual personalities of the many otherwise anonymous stray cats that live in Tokyo's shitamachi area. His collection might be called busayan, which literally means "ugly cat", but the photographer has nothing but affection for his moggie muses.
“I want to travel the country photographing all of Japan’s lovely stray cats,” says the photographer. For now however he limits his setting to the shitamachi area of the capital, where he documents the streetwise cats as they fight, nap, and goof around for the camera. The photographer never reveals the exact location of his feline photoshoot, but if you want to keep up to date with his latest photographic exploits then you can add your name to the 48,000+ people who follow him on Instagram.

*Stretch* Man... I'm so tired from that nap, guess I'll have to take another nap later
"Don't push..!" "Yah, don't push..!" "I'm just lookin..!" "I don't even know what we're doing..!" "They said there's a fish upfront..!"
"ah, I see what the problem is here. You have a can of tuna stuck in the thingamabob. It may take some time to fix."
contemplating whether or not you really needed that 2nd piece of cake .. but regretting nothing
That awkward moment when you wake up after a long night of drinking, and catch a glimpse of your reflection in the mirror
When you forgot to buy her flowers for your date, so you start grabbing whatever weeds you can find on the way to her house...
The one time you know the answer, and the teacher doesn't call on you ...
When she warned you she was into some freaky stuff, and you didn't believe her...
It could be a great hiding place if he didn't scream all the time
Most of the them look healthy and well fed........unlike our strays. :(
I was thinking the same thing.
None of the cats look like strays, look well fed and sleek. I don't care for felines but you got some cute shots.
