Japan has a love-hate kind of relationship with its cats. As mentioned in one of their folklore from centuries ago, cats have been symbolized as good luck but are also considered to have protective powers.
But in modern-age Japan, things have changed, and people have changed. Some people fear cats, yet they can’t seem to hate them.
You can’t blame them, though, can you? Cats are like little Japanese sushi but tend to be sweet, like Japanese cheesecakes when you understand them.
What better way of understanding them than starting with choosing a name your cat would love to be called by? Please scroll down and pick your favorite name from our cool, cute, best, funny, and creative collections of Japanese cat names.
