Last month, many cat lovers in Japan celebrated "Super Cat Day". Every year February 22nd is regarded as Cat Day because the date 2/22 can be read as "ni-ni-ni", which sounds similar to "nyan-nyan-nyan", or "meow meow meow" in Japanese. Because it's 2022, that's a whopping five meows, and thus a once in a lifetime Super Cat Day.

So for this year's big kitty celebration, Japanese baking artist izuyo0719 decided to apply her talents for crafting amazing bread that transforms into anime characters into a feline-themed loaf of shokupan, fluffy Japanese milk bread.

Cutting into the loaf, she revealed a very appropriate and expertly baked Super Cat Day bread, and for extra measure, posted it at 10:22 p.m.

Carving through the loaf, the bread turns into an adorably crafted feline mascot of Super Cat Day--Sanrio's Hello Kitty! While izuyo0179 bakes these loaves for fun, they look good enough to be sold by Hello Kitty herself at her own cafe.
