    She was posthumously given the title Eternal Stationmaster and elevated to spirit goddess status, Tama Daimyojin, by a nearby shinto cat shrine, for anyone who didnt know.

      Lao Aidan - Thank you for sharing that story! Cats love positive attention, so Tama was probably very happy that everyone paid attention to him - and gave him yummy food. The shrine was a beautiful way to remember how everyone loved Tama!

    Tama was followed by Nitama(Second Tama) as Stationmaster, and the third, Suntamatama(Third Tama) went to Okayama to train. The person who had been caring for Suntamatama said they couldn't give Suntamatama back, they loved Suntamatama too much.

      I started to explain the above to my wife and she immediately chimed in and said, "They kept her right?" It's a typical thing that happens. We rescued a Tortoise Shell on one of our urban hikes with the intent of turning for adoption...we kept her. Several years ago we rescued two that were brothers and had them at our Vet for adoption...wife went to visit and said, "They need a good home"...we adopted them. Last year I made eye contact with a "feral" Tuxedo kitten and he was an easy trap...was getting him ready for adoption and we really got attached to Oreo...he reminded us of our first Tuxedo so we kept him along with same name. These "adoptions" occur for a reason.

    This story has inspired me to do what the big ranchers of the old west did by appointing gun fighters as regulators to protect their land. I now have appointed 3 feral cats I've made friends with, as regulators of my front and back yard. They have single handedly reduced the outlaw rat problem at my house. They even have their own cat shelters they can operate out of.

      @@noninoni9962 2 of my deputy regulators seem to have that taken care of already. I can tell by the clipped ears. Some organization took care of that before they found thier way to my house. After they began to totally trust me, they are some of the most loyal and affectionate cats I've ever had the pleasure to be arround. The young male tabby I call, Billy the Kid, will be fixed under my dime. He's already a good mouser and he even holds his own against the aggressive tom cats that try to invade my property. TNR cats are awesome and even keep me company when I play my blues guitar in my tomato garden. I like to call them my little blues cats...lol!😺

    How unique. I love to see how cats are employed to work at the railway stations. This unusual practice is very cool to see. Giving a salary makes huge sense since Tama had a career at the railway station which was being a station master.
    Nice to have animals get jobs like people.
