National Cat Day in Japan

Meow!

February 22^nd is National Cat Day in Japan, . This is because the pronunciation of “2” in Japanese and cat’s meow are similar.

Lots of Internet users celebrate the day by uploading images on social media.

Some people cosplay as a catgirl, others share the photos of “adorable” (often expressed “Moe”,萌え) kittens. Besides, illustrators draw cats and share the pictures.

   

Let’s deepen the understanding of cats and cherish them!
