Cats Lover MUST GO in Japan!

An island that has more cats than human population! Tashirojima island! This place are mostly live by elderly age 65+ and above, no young resident. In the old days, farmers brought cats to this island to help with pest control for silkworm farm. There were many mice around and they decided to have cats to help around! Since then, the island has been living with more than 100 cats and only 60 residence. Visitors are not allowed to feed the cats! #japan
