In her custom-made stationmaster's cap and a jacket, Tama quietly sat at the ticket gate welcoming and seeing off passengers. The cat quickly attracted tourists and became world-famous, contributing to the railway company and local economy."Tama died of a heart failure on June 22. During Sunday's Shinto-style funeral at the station where she served, Tama became a goddess.

I personally know people that more or less worship their pets and place them over people, even their own family members. I love animals, a huge animal lover, but an animal, even a beloved pet should never overshadow a human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to have some really spirit filled answer on this one but all I can do is shake my head and laugh. I guess everyone dunks their Oreo cookie a little differently.
