The shocking truth about Hello Kitty

She may look like a friendly feline, but the fans of 'Hello Kitty' got a shock this week when her Japanese creator revealed the character is not actually a cat. The purr-plexing identity crisis sent the Twitterverse into a tizzy. Mike Le Couteur explains.

As a fan of hello Kitty, i thought she was a cat, but she's actually a girl from London. Even though that's the truth, but still I'll always love her the way she is.
