Looking for Cats - Shikoku Ogijima

#Itinerary Sharing #Island #100 Ways to Travel #Travel Tips #November Good Places 2024 #Register for November Hotel Sleep Tester This place was once known as a cat island🐱, but if you come because of cats then you will be disappointed😧, because in 2016 the cats were neutered collectively🏥. When undergoing surgery, the cat's ears are cut into a V shape✂️ under general anesthesia💉 for identification. Since the shape is similar to the cherry blossom petals🌸, the neutered cat is also called the cherry blossom cat🐈⬛. 。 However, I can vaguely see cats👀, for example, I have at most three cats playing with me at the shrine⛩️ at the same time, and this photo was taken at Ogi Fishing Port📷. 。 Why sterilization surgery❓ As many people on the island have moved to the city 🏙️, the population loss of Manki Island is serious 🌫️, too many wild cats have begun to produce problems such as destroying crops 🌾, urinating and defecating everywhere 💩. There were too many complaints from residents about the overabundance of cats 🗂️, when there were more than 200 cats, even more than the residents 📊, the relevant unit carried out sterilization surgery for cats across the island. 。 How to get to Ogijima❓ Take a ferry⛴️ from Takamatsu and reach Ogijima📍 for about 40 minutes via Ogijima. 。 Introduction to Mankijima📝 It has a population of about 148 and an area of ​​only 1.34㎢🗺️ There is little flat land on the island, so villages are gathered in stepped areas in the south and west 🏘️. Viewed from the sea, the houses are scaly, becoming a unique landscape🌌.
