Happy Cat Day from Japan – otherwise known as Nyan Nyan Nyan day

Today is the 27th annual Cat Day in Japan.

As a gentle introduction to learning Japanese, let us explain that ‘Nyan’ means cat – which is why the meme below is known as Nyan Cat…

In celebration of the day, we expect many of Japan’s numerous cat owners to entertain us by uploading plenty of cat photos and videos! We’ll be sure to look out for the best of the best.

Is it mean to call this post ‘Fat Pickles’? Or ‘Catasaurus rex’?

We’ll let you decide, but we think Pickles needs to go on a diet! Fair enough, he’s a gigantic cat, but where’s his waistline? While he’s very cute to it’s hard not to celebrate such a magnificent cat, we think it’s a shame that this report doesn’t point out that he is overweight – it’s irresponsible to let the public assume this is a normal feline silhouette…but that’s just our opinion! What do you think?
