Japanese word of the day
ねこ (Hiragana)
描 (Kanji)
Meaning: cat 🐱
Pronunciation: ne-ko
Kanji breakdown:
The kanji for cat is borrowed from Mandarin and can be broken down in these parts: the right side of the kanji "苗 (なえ)" means "sapling" and the left side of the kanji 猫 translates to "ミョゥ" read as "myou" which is essentially the sound that cats make "meow"
this kanji basically means "meow sapling"
please feel free to add any other kanji detail I might've missed. This is my first time learning the kanji as well ~
いしょにべんきょうしましょう!!がんばってね!
Romanji - issho ni benkyo shimayou!! Ganbatte ne!
Translation - let's study together! do your best!

Oh, I just learned that a lot of cats in japan got a bobtail mutation (which is domninant, so all kittens with one bobtail parent will inherit it too)
I wonder if they have struggle falling on their feet, and balancing themselves. But I guess that it may helpful to fleeing from predators, cuz there's no tail for enemies to grab?

I have found the absolute gentlest content on the entirety of YouTube and it is these 5 minute NHK documentaries about cats in various places in Japan.

連休に関係なくいつも通りのまったりさん。
人間大好きのコウちゃんは、久しぶりに会った友だちに盛大に可愛がられてご満悦♪
人見知りのシアンはそんなコウちゃんを陰からこっそり見てたのかな笑
そんな時はシアンの方が猫らしいんだよ、と後から慰めてますw
