It is time for the good news website and they story that attracted attention is this one about a family of cats that lives in a model railroad in a restaurant. When you look at the picture below, you would not be a pleased model railroader to see this story.
"At one Osaka restaurant nearly done in by the COVID-19 pandemic, it was a band of non-marauding “Catzillas” that stepped in to save the day.
Naoki Teraoka’s miniature-railway-themed restaurant was doing well until the pandemic struck. Like many others in the industry, as patronage dwindled, there wasn’t much he could do. Things got so bad the restauranteur was actually thinking of closing his doors—until an unlikely hero in the form of a stray kitten turned things around.
Even in the midst of financial turmoil, Teraoka didn’t have the heart to turn away the sickly kitten he’d noticed hanging around the restaurant. He and his family decided to adopt the baby cat they named Simba—only to realize Simba was part of a package deal. This was followed by her mother and siblings.
The cats began making themselves at home amidst the restaurant’s perfectly scaled model train dioramas. Though diminutive in real life, the kitties towered over the miniature landscapes looking very much like something out of a movie."
The story takes a turn - while the model trains remained an attraction, Teraoka transformed the place into a cat sanctuary where patrons could interact with stray cats as they dined - and even adopt them. The restaurant grew in popularity and expanded operations. Happy conclusion to the pandemic tragedy.
The full story is HERE. Would the cat be eating the grass, swatting the horses, and prowling down the tracks? You get to decide Good News Cat Story or Bad Mews for the Model Railroad Story!
