A lovely little story about a homeless cat in Japan who lived at the railway station. All the people that came to the station adored the cat. The cat was so popular she was promoted to Station Master. A short book .
Sweet little story.

A glorious short story based on Tama, the cat that saved a station in Japan and eventually became its stationmaster because of her incredible popularity

The tale starts from her born as a kitten to her sad passing but Tama will always be remembered
