Japan's “Cat Island” Crawling With Kitties

All the cat videos you ever need — in a single clip.

Aoshima Island in Japan is crawling with kitties, 120 of them, NBC News reported. They outnumber the people six to one.

And yes, the island's nickname is "cat island."

Cats even hang out at the dock, to greet cat-loving tourists.

People come from all over Japan to see the animals, even though there's no shops or hotels.

The cats were originally brought here to hunt mice. Now a kitten-control program is underway -- so far ten cats have been neutered. Only 110 more to go.
