There is a temple called cat temple in fukui prefecture in japan. Its formal name is Gotanjo-ji. I visited there last week. I like there and it was forth time visit.
There are over 20 cats at the temple. Priests take care of them as one of ascetic practices. For the beginning, one cat was left at the temple and chief priest decided to keep it as pet. To be sad, many people left cats at the temple. They thought the temple can take care of them. The number of cats has reached at maximum 50. The temple regularly holds transfer event. Many cats have found new family and the number of cats has decreased. If I can not meet many cats at the temple, it is not sad thing. The cats at the temple eat well and their body is round. People who like cats visit the temple and take pictures and pat them. Cats also like human. They like sleeping on human knee especially in winter.

Hello Misa,
An interesting article about the Cat Temple. In English, we always use capital (big) letters for proper names like Bob, Misu, Cat Temple and Fukui. The knee is the point at which the leg is jointed. When you are sitting down cats like to sit between your knees and your stomach. This part of the leg when you are sitting is called the lap.
In some parts I have changed the past tense for the present tense as I think that people still leave cats at the temple.
Hope this helps
Bob
