Guest guest Posted April 5, 2010 Report Share Posted April 5, 2010 >Years ago, I read a book called Cats' Kingdom of a Japanese author >who bought an island of Japan for stray dogs and cats to live out >their lives without humans.

The author is Masanori Hata, who is also the film maker who made " Milo & Otis. " He also writes as Mutsugoro. His estate on Hakkaido has several different " Animal Kingdoms, " of which Cats Kingdom is one. The book you read was by Jeremy Angel, & was published in 1987. At that time Cats Kingdom had about 120 cats. I have no idea what the current status of the place is. -- Merritt Clifton Editor, ANIMAL PEOPLE P.O.
