Video: cat delivers letters
July 8th, 2008 by James
A news report from Fuji TV about a cat in Kumamoto Prefecture that delivers letters between two houses:
The story in the news report is explained below.
- Tama the cat was born at one house and lived there for a while.
- One day, Tama disappeared.
- Two years later, Tama returned to its original owner’s house. Tama was in good health, so the original owner suspected someone else must have cared for and fed the cat.
- The original owner attached a letter to Tama’s collar seeking the person who had been caring for him.
- Tama’s second owners, who named him Azukichi, sent a reply in the same manner.
- It turns out that Tama’s second home was only 200 meters away from his first home. His two homes now exchange letters via cat post on a regular basis.
According to the news report, it usually takes about an hour or two for the cat to deliver the letter. However, there are some occasions where he can take as long as half a day to make a delivery.

“It turns out that Tama’s second home was only 200 meters away from his first home.”
Big surprise, it’s a cat, were they expecting it to commute via airline to Australia?
haha that’s very cute. one is a little old granny and the other is a little old grandpa. they should hook up and take care of tama together.
awesome
Didn’t another cat named Tama become the Station-Master of a train station?
Well, they should give this cat a silly hat too. Then they could build him an office and promote him to Post Office Manager.
Pretty much every cat owned by Japanese old-timers is called Tama.
