Cat Shrine – Kagoshima, Japan.

This cat shrine is in Kagoshima in Japan. It lies in a beautiful garden that was once the property of the local lord.

The billboard explains it all. As a long time cat person, I know that this is absolutely true. All of my cats have known exactly when it is 4.00pm. It’s not quite dinner time, but you’d better be getting ready.

There’s a special place where you can add a prayer tag for your own feline loved ones. The lady in the gift shop was not going to sell me a tag, until I explained it was for my two deceased friends, George and Mary. She’d thought I simply wanted a souvenir.
