Thought to date from the late 1930s, this was Tiddles, the cat at Newport railway station in south Wales, pictured with a new litter of kittens and a couple of her staff.

On January 6, 2017, the 10th anniversary of Tama's installment as stationmaster, Yontama ("Fourth Tama"), an eight-month-old calico, was introduced as Nitama's subordinate and the new stationmaster of Idakiso Station, the station Nitama trained at, on Nitama's days off. The publicity from Tama's appointment led to an increase in passengers by 17% for that month as compared to January 2006; ridership statistics for March 2007 showed a 10% increase over the previous financial year. A study estimated that the publicity surrounding Tama has contributed 1.1 billion yen to the local economy. [9] Tama is often cited as part of a phenomenon known in Japan as "Nekonomics" ( ネコノミクス, nekonomikusu, lit., "cat economy"), a play off the term Abenomics. "Nekonomics" refers to the positive economic impact of having a cat mascot.

On October 28, 2008, Tama was knighted and awarded the title of "Wakayama de Knight" (a pun on "It's got to be Wakayama" in Japanese) by the prefectural governor, Yoshinobu Nishizaka, for her work in promoting local tourism.

He was provided with a cat-flap in the mess-room door, and stayed for 13 years, making many friends. He used to catch pigeons, loved cheese, and each Christmas Day had a special turkey treat. He and GC were rivals, and each kept to his own territory. Eventually he developed liver and kidney problems and retired to the home of one of the volunteers, but despite the best of care he did not live long to enjoy his retirement.

Promotion for Japan's stationmaster cat". Japan Probe. 2010-01-07. Archived from the original on 2010-01-11 . Retrieved 2010-01-24. This station had a feline presence in the form of Wendy, who adopted it as her home and, like many station cats, enjoyed having a fuss made of her by travellers. It isn't clear when she arrived there, but she was certainly around early in 2010 and at the time was thought to be quite an old cat. The following year, in October 2011, she was rehomed and went to live in Brightlingsea, but she seems to have gone missing from there about a month later and was not seen again.
