Cat Island

There is a little island off the coast of Japan called Tashirojima, or cat island, where the felines outnumber the humans.

An ancient belief that to feed a cat brings prosperity, has allowed the stray population to boom.

Unsurprisingly dogs have been outlawed and it is more or less prohibited to bring one on to the island.

Non-cat lovers have long since left the island and the locals treat the cats lovingly. In fact there is a cat shrine there!

All in all it's a pretty good place to be a cat... a pretty bad place to be a mouse.
