Exactly. Ogijima used to have a shitload of stray cats (about 200) and it started to become famous as a cat island, which first baffled me because those cats were nasty and not healthy for the most part. But cat tourists don't see the reality, they only see what they imagine seeing. One day I saw an otaku looking guy, sitting in the middle of a dozen cats who were all over him, and he looked like it was the best moment of his life. All I could think was how many diseases and fleas he was going to bring back home.
But the worst was the cat tourists behavior overall. They didn't care about the island at all, nor about its inhabitants. They would run around hunting for cats, they would enter private properties, it was insane.
Luckily, one day, the islanders had had enough (although some wanted to use the cats to promote tourism, despite how destructive those tourists were) and all the cars were spaded.
Their numbers dwindled very quickly (that will let you imagine how healthy there were) and nowadays there is only a dozen or so, and cat tourists move on to another place.
