@cityhillsandsea I thought everyone who lives in Japan has a cat by definition! ;) They are everywhere - in paintings, in videos, in films, in books, in illustrations. My youngest (cat fan) has been planning his trip to Japan for a couple of years now. He believes it is a cat-friendliest country (maybe after Russia).
@vera365 Honestly, I know more people with dogs than cats... There are a lot of cats here though, and they're very well-loved, you'll be pleased to know.
