Everyone, quit your job, start packing your bags and prepping for a flight to Japan, stat.

Tashirojima, an island off the east coast of Japan, is completely and utterly overrun by cats and it’s just like being a crazy cat lady in the best possible way ever.

With only 100 humans on the island, the population is mostly made up of incredibly cute stray cats – which thrive because locals believe that feeding them will bring them good wealth and fortune. Bless.

It is also prohibited to bring dogs on the island, naturally.



Cats were originally kept on the island because they are a natural predator for silk worms, important given that silk was made on the island.

But now, now it’s just so cat-mental that it’s become a tourist hub.

Also, oysters are a local produce of the island, so you know you’ll be well fed.

Fresh seafood and thousands of cats, does life actually get any better?
