My parents were stationed in Japan 2 years during the Occupation. Dad went over in December of '45. Mother and my brother joined him in August '46. All 3 became interested in the people of Japan and Japanese culture. Mother loved cats and probably visited this place - I remember her writing letters about cats.
Cat Island
Re: Cat Island
If the island is for sale, I'd buy it and move there, and just live among the cats.
