Meow?

By that logic, Donald isn’t a duck, so I’m still not buying it.

Nyaan? Or Charmmy, idashai.

Hello Kitty kitty.

Reminded me of that scene in my fave movie, stand by me, where the boys were talking about Goofy, and how he couldn’t be a dog.

But she has cat ears and whiskers.

More importantly, why does a Jr know so much about “Hello Kitty?”

It’s too philosophical for me. :P

Hola gatito

Sanrio’s spokesperson explained, “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.” The specific word that the Sanrio spokesperson used to describe Hello Kitty was “gijinka” (擬人化), which means “anthropomorphization” or “personification.”

I didn’t know she wasn’t a cat either, but then, I didn’t care. Still don’t.

She would probably say “Hello, kitty” or “Hello, [kitty’s name here]”. It’s what would others say when they greet her, like “Hello, Hello Kitty”… ☺

" ’lo cat"

I recommend checking out “The Toys That Raised Us” on Netflix. The history of Hello Kitty is fascinating.

I’m late to the discussion, but let me point out that the character we all call Hello Kitty is a British girl named Kitty White. She’s the daughter of Mr. & Mrs. White. And she has a car named Charmmy Kitty who, admittedly, looks just like her.

As others have pointed out, the difference between Kitty and Charmmy seems to be the same as the difference between Goofy and Pluto. They might have a physical resemblance, but one is a person and the other is not. One wears clothes and the other does not.
