Ecosystem Balance

Food Chain:

  • Cats are TOP of food chain (no predators)
  • Cats mostly eat fish, vegetables, rice, processed foods
  • Hunting instincts exist but are culturally managed
  • Small pest animals controlled by some cats (ratters) but not consumed
  • Agriculture protected from wild animals through fencing and deterrents

Agricultural System:

  • Rice paddies, vegetable gardens, tea plantations, fruit orchards
  • Sustainable practices, crop rotation
  • Fishing both wild-caught and farmed
  • Silk production from domesticated silkworms
  • Honey from managed bee colonies

Natural Balance:

  • Forests maintained for timber, mushrooms, medicinal plants
  • Sustainable harvesting practices
  • Some areas protected as natural reserves
  • Rivers kept clean (important for water wheels and fishing)
