There's a lot to see and do in the Kichijoji neighborhood of Tokyo, but it's Great Buddha statue may be getting a spike in tourist visitors soon. Japanese Twitter user nori (@nori22) recently shared photos that show the area has another star attraction--or at least a feline visitor who thinks they fit the bill.

As you can see, a neighborhood cat has found the perfect spot to nestle in--the meditative hands of the area's Great Buddha. While the cat seems to be enjoying the warmth of the spot, many on Twitter have remarked that it looks as if the Buddha is taking care of the cat, or that the cat is actually some sort of feline divinity that's purred themselves to enlightment.
Perhaps there is something true to their claims. As the video below shows, this Buddha is quite the kitty magnet!
