There’s a famous saying “Try and try until you succeed,” and these two cats in Japan have been doing that for years!
The furry buddies named Ken Chan and Gosaku, have been trying to get into the Hiroshima Onomichi City Museum of Art but have been constantly rejected by guards.
It began a couple of years ago when the museum debuted a show titled, “Cats — Mitsuaki Iwago Photography Exhibition.” After a few days it was opened, there was an unusual art lover that arrived. However, the cat visitor was blocked by a security guard before he even reaches the front door. In March of last year, the same black cat returned but this time around, he brought a ginger buddy. And as usual, they were kicked out just as they were entering the museum.
The persistent felines probably live nearby the museum because they keep coming back, trying their luck to enter the precious art center. The employees eventually started sharing photos on Twitter of those sneaky moments, making the two adorable cats instant celebrities.
Well they haven’t officially made their way inside yet, but at least they got hugs from the guards whenever they were taken back outside.
