10 Weird yet Wonderful Places that Will Blow Your Mind

Tashirojima (not so far from east coast Japan) has a population of only 100 people and a far greater number of cats. In the beginning, more kitties were needed because the locals were producing silk and mice enjoy eating silkworms.

So the humans were losing to mice, but cats saved the day! Fishermen on the island consider their feline friends to be good luck and tourists, especially cat lovers, will always be amazed at the cat shrine, cat-shaped cabins, and the countless cats everywhere they turn.
