Still Waters Posted July 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2014 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. http://metro.co.uk/2...mazing-4815069/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionmark Posted July 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Nothing against feeding them, but have they ever heard of spaying an neutering? An island is the ideal place to get a cat population under control being a closed habitat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffSplitkins Posted July 30, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I heard that's the island where Schrödinger used to go on vacation... or was it? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
libstaK Posted July 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) How do you make sure they ALL get enough food? Some of those cats look really hungry, although none look like they are suffering from malnutrition. Still, it would constantly bother me, I don't think I could live there without bankrupting myself first in getting them all spayed and secondly in keeping them all fed.
