Hoooooo-kayyyy

This could only work in Japan, I guess.

It's the last stop of a country train line - an isolated town of just a few thousand people. The tourists are flocking here to snap what they call a once-in-a-lifetime picture of her, Tama the cat or as she's known to the Wakayama Railway - "Super Station Master."

The cat, in a conductor's hat, greets travelers like Michiko Yoshihara who traveled nearly six hours by train and spent hundreds of dollars to see Tama.



Weirdos.

Is there anything special about this cat? They just put a train conductor hat on him/her and people flock to take pictures? Weak.

I admit I haven't put my specs on yet this morning, but I couldn't even see the hat in the picture. I guess I'll have to hop a train to see that, right?
