Japan Prepares Train For Cat Stationmaster

Sunday 1 March 2009 @ 11:40 pm | By Ivan 'Nahu' Lozano 4 Comments

As further proof that Japan is ready to turn over control of their country to either robots, cats or anything in cosplay, here’s this video of the Tamadensha, a train completely decorated in honor of Tama, a stationmaster cat at the Wakayama Prefecture. The train is completely draped in the image of the cat and its so cute you’ll want to squee. The cat has been attracting tourists for years and receiving bigger and bigger honors, from parties to full regalia ceremonies. At this rate Tama will be prime minister of Japan in a couple of years.
