Don't worry about it. Japan doesn't have dangerous animals for cats. They have a safe and free. Also, the cats usually know some people who often feed them. They can get enough food. And, why nobody doesn't pet the cat is that people don't want to wake the cat up. People want the cat to be in comfortable dream (^^)

Thank you for showing how Japanese thinking is different from your American way.
You think the cat needs help and it is a poor cat, when in reality the cat feels SAFE, HAPPY, FED, and so SECURE because people in Japan, unlike you, dont jump to your AMERICAN conclusion that the cat "needs to be taken home!" and dont bother the cat, and minding their own business.
Show me a place in America where a cat can sleep like that, feeling safe, and secure as people walking by?

Cats are superior to humans. These people know that, and are afraid to pet it, because the cat would surely kill them with its super energy beam.

um, I wouldn't necessarily be quick to praise japan for this. I wouldn't say that it is indicative of greater social harmony so much as an unusual reverence for felines.
not that it isn't cool or anything, just not the best evidence that japanese are more highly evolved humans or something like that
and it's not like all americans are as you describe anyway, you're making a generalization there.

When I went to Japan for the first time, the first impression was thought to be cold.
But, that was a great error.
It was helped very kindly carefully when it was troublesome and help was asked.
It was kind as whom one person without exception.
This cat isn't ignored, either, but no one touches it in the meaning that sleep shouldn't be obstructed by hand.
In other words, Japan is peaceful when it is said what to want to say!

In China the cat won't be treated nicely and he/she will be caught and eaten for sure.
