If it's an hour、You can play with the cats well🐾💖。 🐱 2. Finally landed on Nekojima! When I descend to Aoshima、Several cats have already welcomed us! If there are friendly kids too、Some children are a little wary。 Walking through the island、Cat basking in the sun、Cats playing together、Cat taking a nap... It's like a cat's paradise🐱💕。but、There are fewer cats than I imagined。I received lots of food from tourists who visited in the morning.、It looks like I'm full🐟🍴。 🍙 3....
