Hello Kitty!

To our meebo guest who wanted to know the origins of everyone’s favorite ubiquitous cat, Hello Kitty, here is a link that will provide your answer: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2001/jul/09/marketingandpr.g23

Hello Kitty also has her own amusement park in Puroland, Japan. And if you are still reading this post, you may as well click on this link to learn more.
