Japan's Cat Island is on Tashiro Island. TashiroShima is an isolated island belonging to Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, located about 15 kilometers southeast of the mouth of the old Kitakami River. On this island, cats are valued as auspicious animals that attract a good harvest of fishing, and the local residents offer them as protectors, and have made many picture books for them, and clearly instruct that dogs are not allowed on the island. It is a veritable "cat island".
There's even a festival exclusive to cats. Every year, February 22 is Cat Day in Japan, and many cat lovers post photos of their cats on this day.
There are also a variety of Japanese delicacies and desserts, all of which are made into the image of cats and dogs.
