How Cats Became Icons in Japan
Walk through any Japanese neighborhood and odds are, youâll spot a cat statue with a raised paw beckoning you. Thatâs maneki-neko, or âbeckoning cat,â believed to bring luck. But cats in Japan go far beyond superstition. Theyâre woven into everything from ancient folktales to pop culture.
Cats first arrived in Japan in the 6th century, tasked with guarding sacred texts from mice. By the 10th century, they had earned elite status, and some even had court ranks along with personal attendants. Their presence continued to grow, showing up in art and spooky stories.
Fast forward to today: Japan is home to Hello Kitty, cat cafes, and even train stations run by cats. Cats are popular not just for their cuteness, but for their quiet independence. Theyâre perfect for small apartments and busy lifestyles.
From lucky charms to online stars, cats in Japan hold a rare status. Theyâre not just pets, theyâre icons.


If Cats Could Talk, Theyâd Ask for This
If your cat could talk, theyâd likely have a few requests. Nothing outrageous, just the basics to feel safe, respected, and a little spoiled.
Start with routine. Cats thrive on predictability and get stressed by sudden changes, loud noises, or unexpected visitors. Regular meals, quiet spaces, and clean litter make a big difference. Speaking of litter, scoop daily (or more). Think of it like this: if someone in your home didnât flush, youâd notice.
Handling matters, too. Not every cat wants to be carried or cuddled, and many dislike being pet in certain spots like the belly or tail. Learning your catâs signals, like a twitchy tail or stiff posture, helps you avoid overstepping.
Cats also need space to play and rest. That might mean a sunny perch, a quiet hiding spot, or a scratching post in the middle of the action. And while theyâd never ask, regular vet visits catch health issues before they get serious. They canât tell you somethingâs wrong, but theyâre counting on you to notice.

They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing. Nobody will ever know youâre enjoying some THC.
We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time, you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.

From Qatar Streets to U.K. Cat Café
Debbie Morgan didnât just rescue one cat. She rescued 19. While working as a nurse in Qatar, she took in cats abandoned in extreme heat, some injured, some orphaned, and all unlikely to survive without help.
When she returned to Wolverhampton, she couldnât bear to leave them behind. Six long flights and countless vet checks later, she brought them all home. To give them a space filled with people and purpose, she and her sister are opening a cafĂ© called The Qattery.
The cafĂ©âs lower level will serve customers as usual, while upstairs will be a cat-only space. The cats wonât be up for adoption; this is their forever home. And with safety features like quiet rooms and enrichment areas, Morgan says their wellbeing comes first.
She hopes the café can also be a space for education, teaching families and future pet parents what caring for cats truly involves.
