In Japan, there's a train station called Kishi Station where the station master isn't a person at all - it's a cat named Tama. ". 0 She wore a tiny stationmaster's hat, greeted passengers with her judgmental cat stare, and even boosted tourism because people traveled just to see her. Businesses near the station saw sales skvrocket, proving that one fluffy employee did more for the economy than half the politicians.
Tama became so famous she qot her own merchandise documentaries, and eventuallv a shrine after she passed, turning into a literal "cat god.' t: The station still honors her with a successor cat wearing the same little hat. so technically Japan's railway system is partially run by cats. Imagine being late for work and having to explain, "Sorry boss, the cat in charge of my train wouldn't let it leave on time."'
