Japan

Japan has designed homes specially for felines and of course, we're over the moon in the love. 

With features such as built-in litter boxes under the floor, this is litter-ally the purrfect home for you and your felines. 

The brand Felissimo, has been spoiling felines around the world. They say no one loves cats as much as Felissimo and you're about to see why. Felissimo created the Buddhist statue-style halo scratchers and the crepe omelette kitty beds, but have now moved into the realtor business. 

A luxurious living space for cats on a whole new level -- a house made for them! 

Felissimo, in collaboration with Wada Kosan, have created these homes in the Hyogo Prefecture, and are currently awaiting tenants iin the city of Kobe.

Japanese Twitter user and hamster lover @mamekomu_20's Twitter accountseems to capture the daily cute adventures of their two hamsters, Omame-chan and Komugi-chan. As is often the case, however, it's the unexpected adventures that end up being the most memorable. @mamekomu_20 writes in this popular Tweet that when they were simply goofing around on their phone while charging it, they suddenly sensed that something was amiss, only to look down and realize that Komugi-chan was apparently attempting to practice pull-ups on the cable with an action movie star grip. But there's more. Many more cute videos you should definitely watch. 

Twitter user @mamekoro51 recently shared some quality and heart-string-pulling images of a Meerkat family currently at Inokashira Park Zoo. Inokashira Park Zoo is located in a quiet suburb of Tokyo and it exhibits a variety of adorable critters.

Our hearts are literally bursting at the seems due to these images below:

Apelila, a gorgeous orange tabby from Tokyo, Japan, models beautiful handmade kimonos and yukatas made by her owners, Caroline, a web designer, and her mother, Laura. They both love cats so much so they launched a beautiful blog where they feature Apelila as well as cat-shaped eclairs and sweets. Check out their page for more. 

In an effort to raise awareness about stray cats in the area, the Yoro Railway LTD partnered with the Kitten Cafe Sanctuary in Gifu, Japan to create the world's first rolling cat café on a train. As part of the event, passengers traveling between the Ogaki and Ikeno Stations were able to share their commute with a whole bunch of adoptable and adorable kittens who needed homes. 

The Tobe Zoo in Japan shared its procedure for an escaped lion complete with a person in a furry costume. As you will see, the Zoo's resident lions were not so impressed with it. 

This is the story of Tama, the calico cat, who became Japan's feline star of a struggling local railway, Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line, in Wakayama Prefecture, turned legend and Goddess of the station. 

Now, if that doesn't sound like heaven, we don't know what does. "Corgi in the garden" cafe started when the owner found a litter of adorable corgis and thought 'Well why not share this with the rest of the world?' And he definitely did. Scroll down to enjoy these cute photos. We couldn't stop...

Maru the shiba inu is described as the most famous shiba in the world. This adorable Japanese breed have become such an attraction to Japanophiles, there's even shiba inu cafes around the country where you can play with these cute dogs for a fee. Considering the amount of shiba inu fans coming to Japan, these themed hotel rooms in Kyoto make perfect sense. The newly open hotel is called Marugott and contains rooms produced by Maru's owner, Shinjiro Ono. We're talking shiba inu beds, shiba inu cushions, shiba inu walls, shiba inu closets, shiba inu everything! Sadly, Maru himself won't be resident in the hotel, but guests should be content with seeing his likeness massively blown up and plastered all over the wall.
