I visited Japan Cat Island, where there are more cats than people. Elderly people and cats coexist.

Aoshima, a cat island where cats and people live Aoshima, Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture
The island has a circumference of 4.2 km and is home to several hundred cats.
The only way to get to the island is by passenger boat, "Aoshima," which makes two trips a day. There are no guest houses, stores, or vending machines on the island.

The fact that cats look well and not too skinny just showed how well they live ❤️❤️

[Aerixes.]

this is an introvert's dream right there.. while going to the island you could listen to some music with airpods and appreciate the view.. then you can stay beside more than 100 cats while feeding them without much noise (i'm an introvert, that's why i love japan and its culture, someday i'll go to japan (:

32:15 seeing a cat casually stop a fight with love was mad cute

[celebrityrog]

19:00 is WHOLESOME AS WHOLESOME COMES. The head butt and scent rubbing on each other, the love they have. So adorable.

[hobbes]

There should be a Netflix series about the residents of the island and their cat/human interactions

[midnightkitty]

More cats than people?
It sounds like heaven on earth to me!
😻

I came to Aoshima Island about 5 years ago with my son, my son has lived in Japan for 14 years.
It was a lovely experience to feed and pat the cats. I am coming to Japan next week, so I will try to come to Aoshima again. Love from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ 🐈🐾

[alanarzate]

I love how people come together to help these little fuzzy friends of ours😊

There should be some rules to the tourist at the island.
1. Put the food on the plate or clean area. Don't simply put on the ground or sands area. They cannot digest the small rock.
2. There should be specific feeding area

[susanhill]

Some of the cats look like they need some veterinary attention but I’m so glad that people care enough to come feed these kitties. I adore cats and this is what my heaven looks like, surrounded by cats 😊

I am from Finland rural area farm. We always had cats. Not are they good as company and friendly to humans and good as pets and family members. But they take care of the homestead as well (if you are too lazy hooman). Never had any problems with rats or mice or creepy crawlies at all. Silver Fish or Mouse infestation?... They'll clean it right out. Cats takes care of the home. Dogs guard it. ;)

[blindfollower]

Seeing a cat briefly standing on two is one of the best things you can see in this life.

[l.salisbury]

I needed this. It's been almost two years ago that I lost my BEAUTIFUL silver tabby Musya who'd been with me for 14 years...

[tildonchiasson]

Cats are not actually nocturnal; they are crepuscular, which means they are naturally active during low light times at dawn and dusk.

[ryanpenalosa]

Fun fact: Visitors are allowed to take cats from the island, so they have a nice, warm home!

[thinhso]

this is not an island . This is a paradise <3 <3

As a long time cat owner here in the UK, yes all cats have unique personalities and are very intelligent

[uchiha]

I need this in my life. I feel like this place will help me ease my anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, I'm not from Japan. Its so amazing to know that such place exists
