The Story Of The Cat Lady With Over 10,000 Cat Items

Junko Suzuki loves cats. For the past 40 years, she’s owned feline friends and collected cat memorabilia. She has so many cat-related items that she’s actually turned her Tokyo house into a cat museum. There’s even an entrance fee.

Dubbed “Nyanyamoan” (にゃにゃもあん), the museum opened in 2012 and is located on the second floor of Suzuki’s house. According to IT Media, she has over 10 thousand cat goods.

It took Suzuki two and a half years to organise and set up all her cat memorabilia, which she guides visitors through.

Suzuki decided to create the museum because she thought it would be sad to just to pack away these faux cats she had acquired over the years. Creating a museum would be a good excuse to keep the items out.

Cat goods she’s collected over the years are stacked up on the walls, strung from the ceiling, and even coming out of the cabinets. There are stuffed animals, posters, figures and other kitty knick-knacks.
