The tragic earthquake and subsequent tsunami that struck Japan on March 11 displaced thousands of people, destroyed countless families, and left a bitter nuclear disaster that still plagues the people of Japan. Thankfully, one thing they weren’t able to do is wipe out Tashirojima, better known as ‘Cat Island.’
Situated in Ishinomaki City, Japan, Cat Island is essentially an island in an island that houses about 100 elderly people, many of whom believe that filling a cat’s tummy can and will bring great wealth and good luck. As such, Cat Island is teeming with tens and thousands of stray cats.
Anyway, it appears that feeding all the cats has paid off for the inhabitants, because not a single one of them was hurt or killed during the earthquake and tsunami. As for the cats, though one or two may have been killed (there is no confirmation either way), reports say that the island is still brimming with kitty cats galore.
Unfortunately, there is one problem. Inhabits of the island, both human and feline, are extremely short on food.
