Ikebukuro cats
Tonight I passed by Ikebukuro for the bōnenkai where I work, and on my way back through the station, there were these two cats laying on top of each other, on the head of Ikebukuro's symbol owl statue ("Ikefukurō")! Despite all the people around them snapping photos, they remained there very calm (sleeping?!). The smaller top cat had a cute collar with a flower on the side.
Unbelievable sight! How did they get there? Or in the station at all? It remains a mystery. :)
They sure made a lot of people happy!

Cute. But also a bit disturbing, did they look okay? Not drugged or anything..?

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais ça m'émeut...

I don't know what a drugged cat looks like. :) But anyway they had collars so they're probably someone's.
Also it seems like there have been other odd places in the city where two cats have been seen sleeping together like that, but it doesn't look like they're the same cats as this time.

I wonder if all of these escaped home.
