Adorable pictures show how a pair of cats have developed a fondness for travel thanks to their roving businessman owner.

Daisuke Nagasawa, 49, has spent the past few years taking his two faithful pets, Daikichi and Fuku-chan, across Japan in a specially converted baby pushchair.

The CEO of a tech company, Mr Nagasawa has taken the cats to all 47 prefectures across the country, photographing his two furry friends at some of the country's most iconic landmarks.

Daikichi, who is originally a stray cat, used to become upset during Mr Nagasawa's long absences on business trips, so his owner decided to take him along wherever he goes, along with his companion, Fuku-chan

He said that he began to take his cats on trips across Japan after Daikichi, who along with Fuku-chan is originally a stray, became upset during his long absences on business trips.

According to Mr Nagasawa, his emotional cat soon became a major problem as cat-sitters complained the furry companion was becoming aggressive.

In the end he realised it wasn't worth the hassle so he started to take the pair around the country with him.

Mr Nagasawa said: 'I started travelling with the cats around seven years ago. We have visited more than 1,000 regions in all 47 prefectures in Japan'

In the end he realised he couldn't travel without his two pets and began to think about how he could bring his two cats even further into his life.

So, he decided to make tabby Daikichi, 13, a general manager and ginger Fuku-chan, seven, company secretary of his own business.

Today, Daikichi and Fuku-chan travel in a converted baby pushchair - their form of a company limousine.
