Tashirojima Island, also known as "Cat Island," is a small island in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, famous for its large population of stray cats. With more cats than humans on the island, it has become a haven for feline enthusiasts. The cats are believed to bring good luck and fortune, and there is even a cat shrine where the islanders pay homage to their furry friends. Despite being hit by the Tōhoku tsunami in 2011, the island continues to attract tourists who come to experience the unique charm of this purrfect paradise.
