PoC avatarPosted on March 21, 2021 by Michael BroadMarch 21, 2021

I don’t think Aizawa owns cats but he is seen with them a lot. For those who are mystified over Aizawa, his full name is Shota Aizawa and he is a Japanese manga character. In English terms that makes him … Continue reading →

This is a cool solution for a cat guardian and shopowner who wants to allow their cats to enjoy some vertical space when in their shop/store! I don’t know whether this shopowner is a man or woman but what they … Continue reading →

Cats that live in groups

PoC avatarPosted on October 14, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 14, 2020

It is wrong to say that only lions live in groups because feral and stray cats live in colonies. And domestic cats in households often live in small groups too. Both the lion and the domestic cat are different species … Continue reading →

Where is Japan’s Cat Island?

PoC avatarPosted on October 13, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 13, 2020

As there isn’t a single cat island but eleven in total it’s impossible to show you where Japan’s Cat Island (in the singular) is. They are all off the coast of Japan as expected! Aoshima Island is one of them … Continue reading →

Combined cat café and hotel allows guests to live with cats before adopting

PoC avatarPosted on September 2, 2020 by Michael BroadSeptember 2, 2020

Stranger in Japan ate cat food for two months without realising it!

Japanese like Scottish Fold cats and keep them inside

PoC avatarPosted on July 18, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 18, 2020

There appear to be two outstanding aspects of cat ownership in Japan; they overwhelmingly like the Scottish Fold cat breed and 99.5% of domestic cats in that country are full-time indoor cats. The information is interesting and it comes from … Continue reading →

Japanese study of TNR feral cat colony tells us that cat food is their main food supply

PoC avatarPosted on November 11, 2019 by Michael BroadNovember 11, 2019

This study came to the conclusion that TNR volunteers managing a feral cat colony on Tokunoshima Island might cause what the scientists call ‘hyper-predation’ of local native species. What they mean is that the cats are helped by people feeding … Continue reading →
