Twitter user ＠kyoxxxxx, aka Kyou, recently posted this picture of a cat with a cat-mask on its forehead that’s weird and extremely cute at the same time.
The mask, which was purchased at a flea-market selling yokai (Japanese demon) goods, was made by a guy named Gan-chan. Kyou made the wise decision of decorating a cat with the cat-face mask and then documenting it for the world to see. Thank you Kyou! (Although, the cat doesn’t look to happy about it.)
