He is nothing like the girly Japanese Hello Kitty living in a world of pink and kawaii, neither is he like Disney's Tom who has spent decades chasing his one nemesis: Jerry the mouse.
Nope. He is one of his own kind, and he is Chinese.
This is a cartoon cat created in traditional Chinese brush painting and oriental watercolors. His name, as you and I shall address him by, is Wuhuang, meaning "My Emperor", or a better translation "Your Imperial Majesty", because usually it comes with a hail of "Long live."
And does he not deserve the grand title.
His Majesty rules over his human and his human's pet bulldog, and he does not bow to no one, for he is proud as suggested by the name, or at least according to the way he perceives of himself.
But in order to earn a can of tuna, he would bear the condescension to allow kisses from his human subjects, and in cases necessary, tame a few fresh newcomers with his ultimate stare of irresistible cuteness.
Most importantly, he is wise: The cat knows the way of the Chinese living like many philosophers before him, and he shares his wisdom with his 2 million human followers.
For example, he would warn his human that merely speaking harms a country and prosperity comes from taking solid, practical actions
When you are feeling frustrated, disappointed, or simply having a hard moment when it seems as if the whole world has turned in your against, His Majesty would tell you, "Keep your calm. It makes your face looks slimmer", or he would advise you "In front of things that you cannot change, learn to enjoy them."
He even tells you not to keep staring into your cellphone screen and talk like a zombie in a crowd. He would remind you to drink plenty of water if you are feeling ill.
