month s race. a solution to a mouse problem on a tiny japanese fishing island has morphed into a bigger problem. the island is now overrun with cats which outnumber humans six to one. to make matters worse for the quiet village s residents the cats have a fan club. tourists show up every day to see them. there are no restaurants shops or snack bars, just cats. strict housing laws often forbid keeping cats as pets. they are a novelty. locals are trying to control the population. so far they have neutered ten of the more than 120 cats on that island. u.s. voters backed sending american troops to fight isis terrorists, just not a lot of them. the latest poll indicates 52% support sending a limited number to the battle zone.
