Because it’s Thanksgiving, we want to take a moment and remind ourselves what we’re truly thankful for: friendship. And one of the most meaningful and important things about friendship is that it can happen between different backgrounds, different ideals, different thinking, different appearances and even different species. Take, for example, the story of Marimo the cat and Fuku the owl, who live in a cafe in Osaka, Japan.
The two met when Marimo was just a few months old and immediately hit it off. They’ve grown older but have remained best friends.
Marimo and Fuku sleep together, play together and hang out together. They’re so close that the inseparable couple were nicknamed FukuMari. They’ve become quite a popular tourist attraction too, resulting in overwhelming visitors to the Hukulou Coffee shop in Osaka where they live.
You can go to see them in person but the shop owner is careful to not let Fuku get too tired, especially since a coffee shop is not it’s natural habitat. If you can’t make it to Osaka, FukuMari has a photobook coming out on December 24, 2015 and it’s going to be available through Amazon.
FukuMari are one of the more adorable reminders that we can all get along despite our differences. Happy Thanksgiving!

Who am I calling today?
October 29, 2015I am calling Uber. They will deliver kittens to you because it is National Cat Day.
National Cat Day is Thursday, October 29 — it always sneaks up on us! — and Uber will be offering on-demand kitten delivery to offices in 50 US cities.
Kittens can be requested between 11 AM and 3 PM [today] using your Uber app — they’ll send a reminder you if you need one — and for just $30, you can have 15 minutes of cuddling with highly adoptable kittens.
Says Uber:
It’s just a $30 “snuggle fee” for the best 15 minutes of your day and we will turn around and support the participating shelters! If you’re smitten for a kitten or are looking for a new purr-sonal assistant just ask the local shelter representative assisting with your kitten delivery. We’ve helped over 30 kittens find their forever homes through UberKITTENS and this year, we hope to find every eligible kitten a home! …If you’re lucky enough to request kittens to your office, please make sure your boss or building is going to be cool with the meows and that no one in the area is allergic. Also, having a dedicated room for kitten playtime is preferred.
While there’s no word yet if your kitten delivery will come with an in-car dance party, cats are probably more than enough distraction for a single day. The move is a clear indication on Uber’s part that the company is ready to start rebuilding goodwill after a seemingly endless parade of negative press. Kittens are nice but we’re raising our eyebrows higher than this concerned cat if Uber thinks it can just throw animals at a problem to make it go away.
But, did we mention… cat delivery? Sneak onto your office manager’s phone or better yet just order them yourself. Where did all these cats come from?
Who knows. Not you, you had nothing to do with all the cats at the office…

Stationmaster Tama is 16 years old and has been in charge of the Kishi Station in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan since 2008. She’s also a cat.
Wakayama Dentetsu, the city where the station is located, loves the furry professional, and even decorated a train in her honor. Called the Tama Train, it was specially painted with cartoons of her likeness. The themed train has recently gotten an upgrade and now features giant cat ears, whiskers, and a stationmaster hat. The inside is air-conditioned and has some pretty funky furniture: The chairs are shaped like cats and the couches have fun feline patterns. There is even an elaborate cage for when the stationmaster wishes to ride the train (when she’s not there, a cardboard drawing of her fills her space).
