Hanging Out with Hundreds of Cats... On Cat Island!
Like 3 Dislike 0 Published on 1 Feb 2016
On Japan's Cat island, there is only one store where you can get food and supplies, and the front steps leading into the store is a favorite place for the wild, hungry cats to hang out. We decided to take a break here to hang out and feed the cats before continuing on our journey.
To experience the amazing history and culture of Japan's Cat Island, watch the acclaimed Japanese documentary "Cat Heaven Island" (English Subtitled):

The footage was taken during our stay on Tashirojima (田代島), which is a small island in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, Japan. It lies in the Pacific Ocean off the Oshika Peninsula, to the west of Ajishima. It is an inhabited island, although the population is quite small (around 100 people, down from around 1000 people in the 1950s). It has become known as "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 cat population is now larger than the human population on the island.
