Hello Kitty not a cat... Say what?

To quote a real cat's meme... No. (Grumpy Cat)

"That's one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."

So by this logic Mickey Mouse isn't a mouse, Donald Duck isn't a duck, etc. So what if she has a pet cat? There is goofy AND pluto. A mouse with a pet dog... Since when do cartoons need to make that much sense? lol She even has KITTY in her title AND her name. Makes you want to look at them and ask, "are you serious?" Okay so she can't just be a girl cat? I mean, it's pretty apparent that's what she is.

You can't let people think all these years that Hello Kitty is a cat and then pull this. It's obviously a publicity stunt.

I for one refuse to believe it. Call it denial or whatever but that's how I feel. She's a cat. End of story! :p
