Like so many restaurants, the Diorama restaurant in Osaka, Japan owned by Naoki Teraoka, a railway model enthusiast, was hit hard by the pandemic and almost had to close altogether when he rescued a 10-day old kitten that started hanging around his restaurant. A few days later, the kitten’s mother showed up, followed by three more kittens. Naoki took in the entire family. When the cats started lounging among the miniature railroad sets, customers took notice, and now, there are 14 cats at the restaurant that keep diners company. Visit Bored Panda for wonderful photos of the cats in the restaurant.
