جيش من القطط يحكم جزيرة

جيش من القطط يعيش في جزيرة نائية باليابان تم جلبهم للقضاء على الفئران إلا أن الجيش الصغير تنامى وتكاثر بشكل كبير
The island where it's reigning cats... and there are no dogs: The Japanese island where felines outnumber humans six-to-one after they were introduced to kill mice More than 120 feral cats live on Aoshima Island, where they have just a handful of humans for company
The cats were originally brought to the remote Japanese island to kill mice living on fishermen's boats
Most of the local residents left Aoshima Island to work on mainland Japan after the Second World War
But the cat population stayed and have since multiplied - meaning they now massively outnumber humans
Originally introduced to the island of Aoshima to deal with mice that plagued fishermen's boats, the cats stayed on - and multiplied
The allure of cats is not surprising in a country that gave the world Hello Kitty, a cartoon character considered the epitome of cuteness.
Cat cafes have long been popular in Tokyo, catering to fans who can't keep the animals at home because of strict housing regulations that often forbid pets.
The cats of Aoshima are not too picky, surviving on the rice balls, energy bars or potatoes they cadge off tourists. In the absence of natural predators, they roam the island without fear.
Not all the residents are admirers, though.
