At the train station in the Japanese city of Kishi Kinokava works caretaker cat named Tama - she has been in office seven years. However, the "works" - not quite the right word: it is basically sitting in a basket, and her photograph. It looks cat in his cap very presentable.

Tame pay handsomely for their work - it has a large window in the office, soft basket cap with a golden lining, the icon and the sea food. Tama - the most successful stationmaster in the world, look at it every year thousands of tourists come.





By the way, people on the staff, the station is not: at most stations in Wakayama Prefecture (where is Kinokava) people do not work, but in Japan it is a common thing at all. Because tourists and adore 15 letnyuyustarushku-Tamu - it's kind of like watching station on their own, though only four days a week. The remaining three days are junior ranger on duty - a three-year cat nit.





The story of the stationmaster Tamoy started in the year 2003: the cats who found shelter at the old station, almost kicked out, since at this point, wanted to build a new road. But the cats were, and when in 2006 he opened a new station, immediately after the opening ceremony of the president of the railway company Mitsunobu Kojima approached the old woman who took care of the cats, and asked him not to expel the animals.



What happened to the rest of the cats is unknown, but as soon as Kojima saw Tama, then immediately realized - here it is, salvation, this cat is just born to be a caretaker. In Tame he saw "Maneki-Neko" - cat mascot, promising good luck in business.

Since then, Tama made a successful career: in 2008, the year she was awarded the title of "Supersmotritel year", and this year she received a special award from the governor of the prefecture. There is even a train "Tama", named in her honor.
