Cat Island known for its large number of feline residents and small number of people.

Felines have been reported by news outlets to outnumber humans by ratios between 6:1 and 10:1, but as elderly inhabitants of the island have died, the ratio has greatly increased, to almost 36:1.

Cats were introduced to combat rodents on fishing boats but remained on the island and reproduced in large numbers
