Aoshima, often called “Cat Island,” is home to only a handful of elderly residents but well over 100 friendly felines, roughly five cats for every person. 🐈🇯🇵 The animals were originally brought in to control rodents on fishing boats and have since taken over, turning the quiet fishing village into a feline paradise. Life on Aoshima is tranquil: there are no cars, hotels or restaurants, just simple homes, scenic views and cats lounging in the sun. Locals and visiting cat‑lovers feed and care for the animals, enjoying their playful company and the island’s calm, uncluttered rhythm. - #interesting #pubity #viral
