Hello Kitty fans tweet shock after learning she's not a cat

WHAT??!!??

Quote:
Hello Kitty fans were left yowling on Thursday as major news broke about the adorable little cartoon character they've come to love over the last 40 years: She's not a cat!

As reported in the Los Angeles Times, Kitty creator Sanrio confirmed that she's actually a little girl who even has her own pet cat, Charmmy Kitty. Her real name is Kitty White, she has a twin sister and is forever in third grade. Plus, she lives in London — not Japan, despite the character's identification with that country....

wow....

When the Kotaku blog reached out to Sanrio directly, they were given a slightly more qualified statement. The spokesperson there said that "Hello Kitty was done in the motif of a cat. It's going too far to say that Hello Kitty is not a cat. Hello Kitty is a personification of a cat.

okay~

Kotaku: "Blog" when they want to avoid Liability, "Journalists" when they want exclusive access or demo kits.

Seriously, *** them.

she's actually a little girl

she's actually an inanimate object and therefore neither girl nor cat

I don't get what the creator is going for here, they created basically a cat whose only human feature is to walk upright but apparently it's meant to be a British girl.

I didn't do it King. I just reported it.

Same story from CNN: Cat-astrophic revelation purr-turbs Hello Kitty fans

And I refuse to be held responsible for the puns in that headline.

Did the Huffington Post ran out of biased news for one hour or something?

Mithra's = belong to, Mithras = plural.

And no, we are catgirls.

The Huffpo didn't have anything nearly half so amusing. Or shocking.

I thought Hello Kitty represents how white men oppress women.

Ironically, Hello Kitty is the one thing that doesn't represent how white men oppress women.
