What a sight!

"Alright, who stunk up the stash?"

I came home one evening, and as I swung into my parking space, my headlights hit a stray cat sitting in the middle of the catnip. He had his eyes closed and a big smile on his face. Never saw him again, but I can guess the stories he told on his travel.

"Dude, one night…."

but luckily they have never brought any friends to invade that part of the garden.

Man, that is a LOT of cats in the pic.
Would love to know the back story on it.

just want to be in the shade?

I did a google search for the image and it comes up in connection with this Japanese Island:

Cat ladies international, perhaps.....

And when I do a Google Japan search for "Aoshima cats", here's what I get:

That's a lot of furry guys.

青島には2013年現在、漁師4名を含む50歳代から80歳代の島民15名に対して、猫が100匹以上も生息している。島民の数が50名を割った10年ほど前から逆に猫の数が増え始めたという。2013年9月に青島での猫の生態を撮影した写真がブログなどに転載されたことで一躍注目を集めるようになり、猫好きの観光客が猫目当てに次々と訪れるようになった。「猫好きにはたまらない楽園」とも評されている。なお、住民の半数は猫嫌いではあるものの「でも、なんとなく共存してきた」と語っている[6][7][8][9]。

"As of 2013, compared with the fifteen residents of Aoshima Island in their 50s to 80s, including 4 fishermen, there are more than 100 cats on the island. About 10 years ago, when the island's human population fell below 50, the number of cats began to increase. In September 2013, photographs of the habitats of Aoshima cats were posted in blogs and other media, which helped to attract a lot of attention to them, and a succession of visitors started coming to the island to see the cats. The island has also been called "Cat Lover's Heaven". The reader should note that half of the island's human population do not like cats, but they relate that they have "somehow been able to co-exist" with the cats."

They all look healthy enough, the vet care must be petty high.

However, according to at least one blog, most cat tourists come on weekends, and give the cats enough food to gorge themselves for that time. But once the visitors leave, the cats descend on the 15 local residents to demand food which frightens some of the residents, so that might be why half of the population doesn't like them.

"They're coming for you...."

over top of mine. That way they can have everything above the milk crate while leaving the base of the plant one.

Around here, we got possums and armadillos that dig up the gardens, looking for worms and bugs...so much worse than cats.

Spay. Neuter.

I mean, really looked at it?
