People have been admiring cats for a long time. The army of their fans is led by the Japanese. The inhabitants of the Japanese islands for hundreds of years before our era worshiped this graceful animal. At that time, cats imported from China were highly valued and lived in the palaces of the nobility. The result of centuries of love was a Buddhist temple in Tokyo, completely dedicated to cats. Very popular among the inhabitants of the land of the rising sun have become "Cat Cafe" — a cafe in which a visitor, as it were, rents a cat or a cat, can pet it, feed it and play. There are about 39 such cafes in Tokyo.
In the eighties of the twentieth century, these affectionate and funny pets captured the space of the World Wide Web. Photos and videos of cats are posted daily on social networks. But now cat lovers can not only watch funny videos, but also go on an amazing trip to the southern Japanese island, where the cat population is six times the size of the local population.
The small Japanese island of Aoshima is surrounded by unique rock formations. But this is not what attracts tourists to it. Not so long ago, this island began to be called the "Island of Cats", since its main attraction are cats. More than 120 cats live in empty houses, it is important to take food from the hands of local residents and calmly pose in front of tourist cameras. But it is not so easy for a curious visitor to get into this "cat paradise". Aoshima Island is connected to the land by a ferry crossing, which carries a limited number of passengers (34 people) twice a day.
What is the reason for such feline expansion? It is known that the island was inhabited by 900 inhabitants in 1945. Many of them were engaged in fishing, and the main obstacle in their work were mice and rats that harmed nets and boats. Cats were brought to the island to regulate the rodent population. Cats quickly solved the mouse problem, but, suddenly, they themselves began to multiply uncontrollably and their number exceeded the number of islanders. According to the Japanese press, about ten years ago, young people began to leave the island in search of work. There were elderly people on the island who did not - and perhaps did not want to control the mating activity of cats (hardly one of the twelve cats was neutered). Cats have not gone wild, they do not avoid people, do not show aggression, gratefully accept that people feed them, they are happy to welcome guests of the island. And tourists get great pleasure from communicating with these animals, a large number of funny photos and a session of psychotherapy.
