The Japanese have always been known for their love of cats, and their love of cats has a long history, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Japan often sent Tang envoys to China to study, and one of the Envoys sent Tang envoys to bring a cat back to Japan. Cats were originally used as pets by the nobility in Japan, and only at the Japanese court could anyone be seen keeping cats.

From the heian period onwards, people can see words such as "Tang cat" in many aristocratic literary works, and in the Edo period, court people began to stock cats, and cats began to appear in ordinary people's homes, perhaps because of the "aristocratic temperament" that appeared in japan in the court, so that Japanese people loved cats more. It is said that at that time, more than 90% of the pets owned by Edo people were cats.
Because Japan is a country with heavy fishing, so it is very precious for rice, and cats can catch rats to protect food, the function of preventing and controlling rat infestation is particularly important for the Japanese, There are many famous cat islands in Japan, the island lives with thousands of cats on the island blowing the gentle sea breeze, you can also pick up cats, it is simply a cat lover's paradise.
Japanese people have unique feelings for cats, and there are many film and television drama works related to cats. Today, I will recommend 3 film and television drama works related to cats, each of which will make your heart.
1. "Cat Waiter"
Known as the "Spotted Ghost", Hisamu Kutaro was once a highly respected, fearsome, and courteous swordsman of Kaga Domain, but now he has become a ronin with no income, living a poor life in a longhouse. He couldn't do anything but swordsmanship, and on this day he received a somewhat strange commission to assassinate the white cat Yuzhicheng, who was doted on by the kimono shop owner Zuo Bingwei, and the kimono shop owner's butler said that the white cat was the legendary eight-tailed cat demon, and asked him to help get rid of the demon. In order to get three or two rewards, Banmu accepted the commission, but at the crucial moment, he was melted by the innocent and clear eyes of Yu zhicheng, so he tried to hide it.
This is a qualified fresh healing film, although the plot is set in the era of the prevalence of samurai, but there is no sense of cruelty and old dullness, a serious, intimidating Kitamura uncle was melted by a kitten, and since then the macho man has become a cat slave. The great contrast is cute, so that Uncle Kitamura has also become cute.

Set in a Ginza shop, it tells the story of a black cat living in Ginza, Tokyo, who leads people who are confused about their lives to a ginza shop.
A black cat that lives in Ginza, whenever someone encounters difficulties or troubles, this black cat will appear in front of that person and make a "meow" sound, as if inviting. And the person who receives the invitation will also follow the black cat curiously. "Coincidentally", the black cat always takes that person to a Ginza shop that suits her/his charm every time. And then the story begins. The show connects the store with the people through cats.
This drama is more like a tourism propaganda film, a unit drama with one story after another, and amway one old ginza store after another in the form of black cat intervention. The plot is warm and healing, the rhythm is slow, the characters are delicately portrayed, and the tones are also comfortable.
