Welcome to Aoshima - "Cat Island" in Japan (9 photos)

If cats want to found their own small state, then the Japanese island of Aoshima is perfect for this! So, welcome to Aoshima. There are a huge number of cats here, of which there are tens of times more than people.

Initially, cats were brought here to cope with the invasion of mice that caused problems for local residents, especially fishermen - the rodents damaged nets and boats. Over time, people began to leave the island, and the cats continued to multiply. As a result, the furry inhabitants significantly outnumbered people.
