Japanese Railway Turns to Feline "Stationmaster" for Help
Meet Tama, a nine-year-old "super-stationmaster" for a Japanese railway. (She was recently promoted from plain ol' "stationmaster.") It seems that this charming little feline showed up a few years ago, and as a result, the ridership went up. The ailing station couldn't afford to hire a human stationmaster, and since Tama was doing such a good job, they promoted her. Okay, I was all for this until I heard that "she's the only female in a managerial position at the company." I've heard of the glass ceiling, but a cat ceiling? Click here if you think I made this up.
