Nine years ago, Japanese photographer Miyoko Ihara began snapping pictures of the relationship between her grandmother and her odd-eyed white cat. Miyoko&rsquo;s grandma Misao found the abandoned cat in a shed on her land and the pair have barely been apart since.&nbsp;Misao named the white cat &ldquo;Fukumaru&rdquo; in hope the &ldquo;God of fuku (good fortune) comes and everything will be smoothed over like maru (circle)&rdquo;.&nbsp;Fukumaru is always in Misao&rsquo;s shadow whether she is farming her land, having a bath, eating or sleeping. Now nearly a decade later their friendship and adventures have been documented by Miyoko in a photo book called&nbsp;Misao the Big Mama and Fukumaru the Cat.
