You wouldn’t be ridiculed for thinking Hello Kitty was a cat; she looks just like one, and Kitty is in her name However, apparently she’s actually a British schoolgirl who lives just outside London with her twin sister Mimmy. She walks on all fours and sits like a human, her creators Sanrio say. They also have stated that many of her fans don’t know that she is a human and they ‘don’t care’.

Hello Kitty actually has a cat of her own called Charmmy Kitty. She’s British because the creators claim in the 1970s when she was made Japanese women and girls were fascinated by our country.
