Cat Island Status Unknown After Japan was Hit by Tsunami
The Cat Island located in Tashiro-jima or Tashiro island (田代島) has been unreported by media after the 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan on March 11, 2011. The island situated almost directly west of the epicenter of the quake is rumored to be completely submerged, but no concrete sources have been found. However, the waves of the tsunami were up to 10 meters high whereas there is a lot of higher ground on the island. There is a possibility that at least some residents and furry animals escaped the devastation.
According to local news, it is likely that the main port of the island has been destroyed which cut off communication.
The Cat Island is famous for its penchant for cats. The island is covered with cats who are highly respected and revered. When the fishermen come back with fish, they always feed the cats first. All the cats there are sociable and friendly. They are well fed and loved by every islander and tourists from all over Japan. Most of the residents are elderly people since the younger generations prefer a more urbanized lifestyle. The elderly have worried about the future of their cats if there will be enough people to take care of them after they pass.
We are sending our prayers to the people and furry creatures on the Cat Island. We hope they somehow made it to safety.
