KONEKO

KONEKO Koneko 仔猫 — Koneko is a cute kitten ready to step it paws on the moon 🐾 The Japanese cat Koneko is one of the most popular pets among Japanese people. Although it looks like an ordinary cat, its legend is much more mysterious. According to legend, Koneko originated from a buddha’s attempt to save the life of a stray cat. The cat was then living near the shrine and many visits came. He tries to get them to love by waving his hands the way other people do to humans to wave at them. This effort made the visitors who came, including one from the kingdom, began to be attracted to him and gave him massive gifts. From this prank, nine months later appeared a kitten protected by the Goddess of Fortune.
