The cats are cute but...I can't help but wonder why someone came up with this.

			<P><IMG alt="Namennayo Cats" src="http://www.plasticbamboo.com/wp/wp/wp-content/uploads/namennayo.jpg" id="image874" /></p> <P>Created in 1980, the Namennayo Cats (Nameneko), took Japan by storm. 2 years, 500 promotional items and 100 billion yen in revenue later, it was all over. Don’t worry though; the dressed-up cats are back to celebrate their 25th anniversary (not the same cats I assume), with a whole bunch of new nonsense to sell (see <A href="http://www.strapya-world.com/categories/12_28_352.html">Strap-Ya</A> for an example). Read more about them on the amazing <A href="http://www.nameneko.com/nameneko/">official Nameneko site</A>. Here’s a video of them back in their heyday.</p> <P>Pics from <A href="http://members.shaw.ca/pelorian/index2.html">The Pelorian Cat Project</A>.</p> </DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/955D7291-8B68-49E9-AECD-120D9D1B219C/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
