Tama the station cat is promoted

A while back (May 2008) I blogged about a cat called Tama who lived at a train station in Japan. Tama became so popular at this train station that many Japanese people would travel to the station just to see her. Recently, in recognition of Tama's ability to pull in the punters she has been promoted to the Railway Board as this blog entry with news video shows.

I am not sure why Tama had to wear some kind of pantomime outfit when receiving her promotion, other than its just the way things are in Japan!

I have to thank fellow tweeter @linagato for alerting me to the latest in Tama's story.
