Japan’s ‘Cat Heaven Island’ Made A Music Video To Invite Ed Sheeran To Come Visit
Japan has no shortage of reasons to make cat lovers swoon, but Aoshima, better known as Cat Haven Island, might be the cutest of them all. This tiny island in Ehime Prefecture is famous for its feline residents, and the cat-to-human ratio is so lopsided it feels almost unreal.
That charm has now turned into a playful invitation for Ed Sheeran, who is touring in Japan and has long been open about his love of cats. The island’s latest move is a music video made just for him, and it is every bit as adorable as it sounds.
Now the only question is whether the singer will take the hint and make the trip.
I know you love cats, so you're dying inside, overwhelmed with joy at the very idea, right? Well, Japan knows how much we love cats, and they definitely don't mind the tourism! Originally, these cats were brought here by fishermen in very small amounts to help control the rodent population, but cats did what cats do, and they made babies. Lots and lots of babies.
Once word got out that Japan had little islands filled to the brim with cats, tourism began to flourish, particularly in these areas. Japan has decided to take the idea and run with it.
And if you’re craving more animal café chaos, this capybara café outshines Japan’s cat cafés.
Tourists love to visit Aoshima, bringing food, petting cats, and snapping photos. Now, Japan wants to raise the bar, and they have the purr-fect idea in mind.
It's a fact that pop music superstar Ed Sheeran loves cats.
He posts about his love of cats regularly, and it's been written and talked about until the cows come home.
Now, Cat Haven Island has created a video to try and coax the crooner to come visit while he's touring in Japan.
It's literally adorable; watch!
Supposedly, he has not responded yet.
But we really hope he goes.
