May we take your cute for you, Iria C.?
Are you sitting comfortably, then I’ll begin…

Once upon a time, there was a great sphinx who awoke from a deep slumber and being very hungry, demanded fudz from all passersby, saying,
“Cheops the Tuna comin’ in tomb my fez.”
Tut-tut, Heinrich. Thank you, Nichole!
And now, a different kind of !#!BEEEEEP!@!!

We will show you 3 kittens while our 30-second timer counts down. Can you give the kittens names before the timer buzzes?
Sender-inner Nancy W. says, “You can’t break up the sisters, ever! … So tiny, so don’t have names yet. Any ideas?”
Pup-vo-lution!

That’s one way to really make the fur fly, Kitty and Jennifer.
Where Every Day is Caturday

…on Tashirojima, or “Cat Island”, in Japan (natch).
It all started way back when mice ate the silkworms being raised to make silk, so the farmers brought in a few cats.
Then, fishermen noticed they were able to make weather forecasts based on the cat’s behavior and considered cats good luck.
The cat population is now larger than the human population (around 100 peeps, number of kittehs unknown) on the island.
The human residents of Cat Island have a special reverence for cats, as you can see from their Island Shrine…
…and architecture
And apparently Mother Nature does too because, though it could have been a (coff)cat-astrophe(coff), all the cats are safe after the recent earthquake and tsunami.
In Japan, cats really do bring good fortune!
Thanks to alert reader Josh N. for pointing out this place exists. Cat Island Facts and Hover-factoids by Wikipedia. Kittens out and about and on the pier at the beginning and end of the post are by Yugoroyd. Cat Shrine images via Tofugu TV. Purrfect architecture by Hirano Sui and Yugoroyd. Want more?
