These community cats guard and protect a cemetery in Japan, and are always there to cheer up those who visit the cemetery in memory of a loved one.
Down in the quiet district of Tokyo, there is an old part of the city called Yanaka that is tranquil and resembles the Tokyo past, a juxtification to the bustling metropolis today.
A big reason for this serene culture may just be quite unexpected - cats and more cats.
A famous landmark in the old-fashioned neighborhood is the Yanaka Cemetery, run and protected by a clowder of community cats. The feline guardians are the most loyal workers there. They are not only friendly but extremely comforting to visitors.
"Yanaka Cemetery in Tokyo is home to dozens of friendly community cats," Hannah Shaw of Kitten Lady shares with Love Meow. "A beautiful example of cats and humans living in harmony."

It was nothing short of a miracle how this kitty survived.
No one expected what was about to happen to this little white stray cat in Istanbul, Turkey, when he suddenly entered the Özel Akgün Tem Hospital through a revolving door, and almost ended his life there .
As a man was leaving the facility at the front door, the cat attempted to walk inside, and got caught between a glass panel and the door jamb.
The stray kitty could barely breathe. When the man noticed the cat, he was in shock and immediately stopped the door, but the cat was already wedged between.
People inside the hospital who noticed what happened were in disbelief. They began to look for ways to rescue the cat before it became too late.
Halil Akyürek, an emergency room doctor sprinted to the rescue. It's his job to deal with adverse and often traumatic situations. Now a cat was in peril, and he was determined to do everything within his power to save the kitty.
