Today Is National Cat and Ninja Day In JapanAttachment DeletedThe movie Office Space popularized the phrase ‘Case of the Mondays.’ Most of the time that phrase holds true. Today in Japan, however, is far from another boring Monday. For many, it is the best day of the year because it combines two things the Japanese love: cats and ninjas. for the last thirty years, February 22 has been elevated as a chance for all cat lovers to let their feline flag fly. Today is the perfect opportunity for Japanese women to wear the ever-popular cat-themed lingerie that stores can barely keep in stock. Indeed, a number of cat-themed celebrations are not only acceptable today, but actively encouraged. National Cat Day developed because of today’s numerals, 2/22. In Japanese, the number two is pronounced ni, so today’s date is pronounced ni ni ni. This sounds relatively close to the sound a cat makes, which is nyan nyan nyan (meow, meow, meow). So how does one celebrate National Cat Day? Well, the options are numerous ever since the Executive Cat Day Committee declared today as a national holiday. The first thing you should do is prank your cat. Second, you must share photos of yourself pranking your cat on social media, along with random pictures of cats. Sometimes these cat images are of a pet, sometimes they’re famous, like Tama the stationmaster cat, or, not surprisingly, even Hello Kitty. There is also the opportunity to dress up like a cat, which cosplay enthusiasts are more than happy to do. www.weirdasianews.com/2016/02/23/today-is-national-cat-and-ninja-day-in-japan/
