Feline population
In Japan's late Edo Period, much of the island raised silk-worms for their textiles. The residents kept cats to chase the mice away from their precious silk-worms.[5] Over time, this cat population left un-neutered began to grow immensely while the human population dwindled down to fewer than 100 residents.[6] As of today, the feral cat population outnumbers humans 6 to 1 on this small Japanese Island.
However, the residents and thousands of tourists who flock to Tashirojima every year do not mind being outnumbered by their feline friends.[citation needed] In Japanese culture, cats are considered to bring good luck, said to bring money and good fortune to all who cross their path.[7] Some[according to whom?] even claim that it was the cats who kept the majority of the island from being destroyed during the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in 2011.[citation needed]
