Answer 3

Kitty first came into being in the 70′s when a then new company called Sanrio needed to come up with a merchandise mascot that would appeal to the preteen girl demographic.

They commissioned an artist to work on the project and she came up with a drawing of a white Japanese Bobtail cat that had a red bow in it's hair and was wearing blue overalls. You can see the original Kitty concept on the coin purse in the picture above, which was the first Kitty product ever.

A whole back story for Kitty was created, which is basically this:

Kitty is actually a nickname for Kitty White, who is not Japanese but actually British and lives in London with her family.

She has a twin sister named Mimmy. The only way you can tell the two apart is by their bows, Kitty wears a red bow and Mimmy wears a yellow one.

She is in the third grade but when school's out she travels the world making new friends. She is bright, kind-hearted, and loves the outdoors.

Favorite food: apple pie. Favorite word: friendship (of course). Height: five apples tall. Had enough cute yet lol?

But why doesn't she have a mouth?

The Kitty character was deliberately designed without a mouth because the lack of that visual cue makes it easier for people to project their own feelings on to the cartoon. Or as one author put it 'the person can be happy or sad together with Kitty'.

The irresistible vortex of cuteness that is Kitty eventually built Sanrio a mutli-billion dollar empire that includes a wide range of products and even theme parks.

Kitty has developed a highly devoted following around the world, even inspiring a new word to come into existence: kitira, it means someone who is a devoted follower of Kitty. Ha take that, Devil.
