Awesome Cats – Tama The Stationmaster

Ginger has her own letterhead now! She is an adorable soft sculptured cat doll. Her letterhead features beautiful handwriting and a beauty shot of Ginger.

It's Awesome Cats Time!

Hello sugar plums! Ginger here – feline reporter on call.

Things are tense here. You didn't hear this from me! BUT. The Chairman loudly suggested he could search for the meaning of life a whole lot easier if he had his World Dominationmobile.

Woah. Crickets chirped in the silence that followed. The Kreatrix still toils under massive deadlines and firmly told him:

“You, little buddy, need to practice deep breathing.”

Well, he went overboard and passed out. So…Here I Am. TA DA! And I choose Tama, a very cool Japanese cat as our Awesome Cat for this post!

Tama is indeed awesome! In 2007 she was named stationmaster at Kishi Station in Kinowkawa, Wakayama Prefecture, in Japan. She is credited for revitalizing a run-down train line and was responsible for bringing a whopping $10 million (apparently that would buy a lot of tuna) into the local town when tourists flocked to the station to check her out!

Now, at 14 years old, railway officials have decided to introduce a likely successor, a young calico named Nitama. A special ceremony introduced Nitama to the world!

Tama and her successor, Nitama, both dressed in velvet robs and fancy hats.

In the meantime, Tama continues her duties with her new trusty assistant, Nitama.

Tama even has her own really cute train!

Enjoy this video of Tama, truly deserving of our Awesome Cats honor!

 

And if you want an extra peek at her train, lookey here:

    Awesome is right. Just think, if Kreatrix had time to create a Catberry Tails train, she'd never have to worry about those nasty deadlines again. Chairman and the community overseeing the running and maintenance , Wally, Rudy and Melvin taking the tickets and entertaining the guest. I'd buy a ticket.

    I agree with Candie. A Catberry Tails train would be great!!
    Better not let The Chairman see these videos, though.
    He's already hyper-ventilating over his World Dominationmobile.
    The thought of a whole train might just send him over the edge!!

    Oh Candie...Oh BJ...The Chairman saw your comments and said that if Tama got a train, he could at least have a car. I tried to tell him that the Prof's birthday is this weekend...Sadly he doesn't understand the concept of birth and celebrating it. Oh poor me. Oh poor Prof. Oh how I rue the day I taught him to use the computer...

    I, too, want to go on this train! Love the little library in the train! Life needs frivolity like this. Judging from the comments I'm assuming someone has a birthday in your household this weekend? Chairman may not be happy about sharing the limelight with someone else?????

    OK. My phone keeps buzzing with updates and I just caught the Chairman texting on my phone. Hey little Buddy, it's bedtime. Let's get the car working first. Then we can talk about other methods of World Domination. Purrs to all the Chairman's fans!
