Temple Cat's Blessing

Osaka has a number of stray and semi-feral cats about, often in parks and other secluded areas. This particular feline though is at a temple and shrine complex right in the centre of the city. The area is surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants and these cats help to keep the rodent population under control. They also get fed by the restaurant owners and pose as models for the tourists as long as they don't get too close!
