| "As stationmaster, one of Tama’s duties was to be the face of the railway and appear in promotional material and media coverage. She also got paws-on at the station, sometimes greeting passengers from atop a table set up by the ticket gates or from the behind the glass window of her ‘office’ – a converted ticket booth equipped with a litter tray and bed." Full Article: The Cat Who Saved a Japanese Rail Line When I was reading this article, the first thing that popped in my mind was ARIA the Animation. I found it so captivating. The manga was written several years (2001/2002) before the actual part of the story (2006) unfolding in that article. I didn't realize cats can actually fill in a role in real life. I am so glad I stumbled upon this article tonight. :) Thought I would share it here for fellow fans! ❤ |
