CAT HEAVEN

This Japanese island is officially named Tashirojima.

However, most people refer to it as Cat Heaven Island, because its residents are primarily feline.

About 100 humans live on Cat Heaven Island. They care for the cats, who outnumbered them long ago, because they believe that feeding them will bring good luck and wealth.

As you can see, the cats pretty much rule the roost.
