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

Oh, you can't help that, said the Cat: we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
How do you know I'm mad? said Alice.
You must be, said the Cat, or you wouldn't have come here.

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.
