(spoilers, dont keep reading ify ou havent seen part 1!)
Cat Island Part 2 is the continuation of Cat Island Part 1 (duh). The second part is where myself and Shinnosuke run into some actual cats. Before, we were flabbergasted by the lack of cats on Cat Island. Really, though, we were just on the wrong side of the island. In part 2, were on the right side of the island, and have more cats than we will ever need.
We talk to more people in this half, see Manga Island (lodging where you can stay in cat shaped buildings made by Shotaro Ishinomori), and hung out with cats. It was a lot of fun and we really enjoyed our stay. I hope you go to Cat Island some day too!

P.S. Will probably add soft subs eventually, though theres barely any Japanese in this video, so it shouldnt actually make things less understandable, at least not too much.
Cat Island is the first episode of TofuguTV! In this episode, we go to Cat Island (Tashirojima) Japan, a small island with less than 100 (very elderly) people, and hundreds (possibly thousands) of cats. In part one, you get to see the first half of the island, one of the villages, the cat shrine, and more. Enjoy and please subscribe for future episodes like this one!
Music is by one of my favorite bands, the Brave Chandeliers - Go check them out! You can download one of their songs free: http://bravechandeliers.com")
