Title: Cats Saving a Japanese Island
Post by: maryas on January 29, 2015, 17:04:12 PM: O.M.G. look at all these cats. They are so loved and the fishermen feed them every day.

I love the cat shaped buildings :Luv2:

There was no evidence of them TNR ing them as they showed kittens on it :(

One cat got a friend to babysit her 4ish week old kitten while she got some food. The baby sitter was far too rough playing with it and ended up batting it down a hole :hairrasin:

She did fish it out before the mum got back :phew:

That's where I first saw it and I had to look it up on the internet.

I thought it was amazing how the black cat's sister baby sat while she went for some food as she couldn't leave her kitten alone as she was too young. It was so funny when she had to rescue the kitten.

I didn't read anywhere about neutering but I guess this might just be one occasion when it's forgiven. The people are happy, visitors are cat people who enjoy going to the island and the cats are fed by everyone.

I certainly agree that an island with a handful of people and loads of cats would be heaven. Stress free bliss :Luv2: :hug:
