In Japan they've invented a headband with fuzzy cat ears that reads your brain wave patterns. The ears droop when you're calm and relaxed, and stand up straight when you're focused and concentrating. I don't know if that's freaky or cute. :cat:

I've seen more than a few vids of women wearing stationary cat ears. Some pop singers have done it & it's not uncommon in porn(it's NOT just the Japanese; I'm not really into Asians so don't watch much of it). The 1s that move seem similar to how mood-rings compare to non mood-rings

There are several cat islands in Japan - plus a bunny island and a fox village -

Cats and Bunnies and Foxes Oh My!

There's a very pretty place called "Cat Ba" in Vietnam, not too far from Hanoi.

I would love to go to Japan for the 2020 Olympics. To see great athletic competitions and visit Cat Island would be an ideal vacation!

I read that "nyan", the Japanese word for "meow" has the same sound as the Japanese word for "two", so they made February 22 Cat Day because 2/22 is like "meow-meow-meow". :lol:

Japanese people love cats, but many don't have the space to keep one. So there are cat cafes there where you can pet a kitty with your latte.
