Fluffy paradise: a cat island will be created in Indonesia (5 photos)

Jakarta has a huge problem with stray cats, because the capital is warm, there are rats from the dumps, so they reproduce on their own. And instead of hunting them or sterilizing them, Jakarta decided to send all the cats into cat exile.





And these are homeless cats in the wonderful nature of Indonesia



In Jakarta, by the way, these blurry-spotted cats are very popular

"Cat Siberia" for reference will be on one of the islands of the Thousand Islands archipelago, so that the cat does not escaped and their population could be controlled. By the way, the islands of this archipelago are often used for isolated communities; in 1945, a leper colony was built on several islands to isolate the sick.





The Thousand Islands are called that... because there are literally a thousand islands!

Now here are the cats.

It is not clear how this will solve the problem of "cat overpopulation" in Jakarta. Because last year they were only able to sterilize 1,000 cats, and they were planning on 21,000, so that the cat breeding trend would go down.

Last year, there were about 860,000 homeless cats in the city. Almost a million, and that's a rough estimate, because you can't count basement cats. On the Japanese cat island, the number is somewhere between 400 and 500 individuals. Just compare the difference in scale, it's time to reserve several islands for the Cat Kingdom.

The fight against cat overpopulation will only work if all the stray cats are caught and sent to the islands at once. The prospect of such an action reminds me of a cartoon about how all the cats disappeared from the city.

Then they will fight the dominance of rats and small birds that carry diseases.

Would you, if you were in Indonesia, even want to go to a separate cat island? Has no one ever seen cats?
