Images of cats and model trains

During the Pandemic a struggling café in Osaka, Japan adopted a stray kitten and ended up becoming a famous place people love to visit. When the kitten’s entire cat family followed to the café, the owners couldn’t turn them away. The cats love roaming on the model trains that are part of the café’s decor. Costumers flock to see the cat family’s Godzilla like antics with the trains. Check out the action with videos from Inside Edition and That Good News Girl, as well as the café’s Instagram account.
