I'm not sure of the exact reason why this has happened, or the reason why there are so many cats in this area, but according to a local woman who I speak and feed the cats with everyday - people are unhappy about them living here. Why that would be I don't know......
They are not hurting anyone at all, and simply want to survive. Just like you and I do. It is a basic instinct in all of us to want to live, but some sad, pathetic people like to take it upon themselves to get angry and upset at other people's business.
This is one example of an attitude lately that I have found a bit disheartening.
Far too many people have nothing happening in their lives, and so they take it upon themselves to complain and moan about what others are doing.
Of course, this is not a comment about Japan at all.
I am referring to a world scale. Simply look around you or watch the news and you will see.
I saw this back in the UK too. But it seems like recently I have been encountering this attitude more and more frequently.
Here is some advice - fill you life up with what makes YOU happy.
And if other people's actions don't hurt or harm others, then let it go and leave them be.
We have seen this with gay rights and many other important issues in the past few years that could help progress our society further. Too many old conservatives are so upset about what others are doing, that they take it upon themselves to do anything in their power to stop others being happy.
Well here is some news for you :
If you love life and make everyday full of magical, wonderful things that benefit yourself and others around you - you won't have time to waste complaining about others actions.
Good day :-)

This is a very delicate issue... But I think that saving the local cats needs extreme effort and money for a long time at present Japan. I know a volunteer woman in other region in Nara who actually forms a cat-saving group which paid the money for the surgery in veterinary and keeps those cats in her house and in her confined adjacent area. She really loves cat and has her own idea of how to live peacefully between the residents and cats in the local area.

is a local woman in my region too who feed the cat everyday and there are many opinions that the woman's behavior is too irresponsible. Stray cats proliferate at much faster speed than dogs unless they are neutered. To some extent, I can understand those people's complaints that their gardens are always messed up by cat's droppings. They think feeding stray cats out of sympathy does not help the cat's life in the long run.

David, I want to make a comment about the opinion you mentioned here. I know that you are a cat person and might have a special sympathetic feeling towards them. As a chief of the neighborhood society in my region, we already heard many controversial opinions from both sides, cat lovers and cat haters.( .. maybe, this term doesn't exactly reflect those people, I mean those people who actually suffer the harm that cats caused.) They both believe that their opinions are right.
In my region, there
