This interesting rivalry details inside\u2026"},"content":{"rendered":"

When the security guard of Hiroshima’s Onomichi City Museum of Art arrives for work each morning, he is met by two mischievous cats.<\/p>\n

Ken-chan, a small black cat, and Go-chan, his ginger companion, are desperate to enter the museum through the sliding doors as the guard opens them for the day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To a chorus of meowed protestations, the security man gently leads them back outside each time. It’s a friendly rivalry, and the cats spend hours outside with the guard. <\/p>\n

With Ken-chan in particular following him about or gliding around his ankles as he stands at his station, possibly as a ploy to persuade him to let him in.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What’s even cuter is that they’ve been doing this every morning for years. It all started in 2016, when the museum opened a cat photography and art show, which seemed to draw stray cats from all around the area who sought to get inside.<\/p>\n

Ken-chan and Go-chan haven’t given up after five years. They normally only try to enter while he’s at his position.<\/p>\n

So it’s possible they’re as enamored with the guard as they are with the museum. Other times, they’ll simply sit outside the entrance, sunbathing and napping.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ken-chan, a cat that works at a nearby restaurant, has formed a friendship with the guard over the years, and the cat walks to the museum every morning and greets him at the entrance.<\/p>\n

Even when the museum was closed for two months due to the epidemic, Ken-chan stepped in as the guard at the door, but was overjoyed when his friend returned, surrendered his duty, and resumed their special friendship where it had left off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As the museum’s feline mascot, the devoted black cat now wears a collar. Even cat calendars and card games with artwork based on him and his companions are available at the museum.<\/p>\n

Onomichi City Museum also tweets about Ken-chan and Go-chan on a regular basis, indicating that the cats have no intention of giving up their attempts to get in anytime soon. <\/p>\n
