🐾🐈⬛Have you ever heard of the Bakeneko⁉️
The Bakeneko not to be mistaken with the Nekomata (cat with a tail split in half), is a monster cat yōkai, Japanese folklore spirit walking on its hind legs with a large tail!
These demon cats are often depicted doing a ritual dance with a napkin on their head. Bringing curses and misfortune, they are known to shape-shift into humans, accidentally start house fires, and can reanimate fresh corpses and use them like puppets for their own evil purposes 😼
There is even a festival and a dance called Anya Odori (pun on the nya word for meow) celebrating them!
