Japanese railway appoints second cat stationmaster



Japanese rail operators Wakayama Electric Railway Co. suffered a crushing loss recently, with the passing of one of its most famous stationmasters -- Tama the cat, who died in June. After a period of mourning, Tama's successor has now been appointed, with her subordinate Nitama, another tortoiseshell feline, winning the promotion.
