So....... "black"?
JFC, I hate poets... They remind me too much of Redditors, and will be among the first I have rounded up when I come to power.

Have you seen the Japanese book about American history that was made during its isolationist period?
Here is George Washington depicted with the 'Goddess of America'. I'll post some more if anyone is interested.

I went looking for a source for this beyond some jackass on Reddit or Twitter, and surprisingly enough, found one. The article appears to be excerpted from Davisson's book, KaibyΕ: The Supernatural !Cats of Japan. The guy seems like the weeb to end all !weebs, but Smithsonian republished his piece, so I guess he's living the !comicshitters dream of actually being both employed and respected for his fetishistic obsession. Good for him.![:marseywholesome: :marseywholesome:](https://i.rdrama.net/e/marseywholesome.webp)

Note when he says its length is 5 sun that's about 6" or (15cm for eurocels). That's a young kitten

Funnily enough, 6" is the only measurement that I happen to have memorised the cm conversion for.

He had to put the cat on a leash. Couldn't just let it be an outdoor cat?
Really great symbol of their aggression against China.
