Neko Shima (Cat Island)

It's been a few weeks since Shimon and I visited what I affectionately call "Neko Shima" of cat island. The actual name is Jogashima. We went on the bike...

Shimon was of course the driver and I was just the passenger... But it kind of turned into a photo shoot at one of the rest stops... I'm the one in the green jacket.

Then we were off to Neko Shima!! On our was we passed a BUNCH of wind surfers out on the ocean...

Not a bad picture considering I was on the back of a scooter and taking the picture. :-)
Next stop...

I look a bit like a cat whisperer, but if you look closely it's just the fact that I have food!

This little one was a bit shy... but was so sweet. She also made me pet her lots on the way out as well.

As we were heading to the main part of the park, there was a bit of a confrontation. Apparently, the black and white kitty "owned" that area and did not like the encroachment. It didn't turn into a fight, but my goodness cats can be SO noisy.

The white cat really didn't need any more food! It's one of the biggest cats I've seen in person.

 I am the Pied Piper!! They literally followed me down to the little overlook area. I felt very special! Sad that it was only the food that made them so excited.

Commemorative silly picture. It's actually quite good and the sky was really nice. After this we had to get going because the temperature was dropping as the sun went down and continued as it got darker. It was a bit of a chilly ride home, but the visit was well worth a little cold. :-)
