Hello Kitty is NOT A CAT?! This changes everything.

28 Aug 2014

So, apparently Hello Kitty, she of pointy ears and whiskers fame, is not actually a cat. Our world just imploded.

According to Kitty's creators, Sanrio, she is a British school girl called Kitty White, from just outside London, with a twin sister called Mimmy.


Erm, you what now?

Christine R Yano is curating an exhibition about the cat, we mean, cartoon character, and had quite a shock when she found out.

"That's one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat," said Christine.



Ah-ha, the plot thickens. A non-cat who looks like a cat, is called Kitty and has her own cat (also called Kitty).

Next thing you know, you'll be telling us that you can't make bacon out of a guinea pig, that Simba & Pumba would never have been friends in real life or that Garfield's diet of lasagne would be seriously detrimental to his health if he was real.

Bog off Sanrio.
