"Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty."
The author of the original LA Times article followed up her story by pointing out that Sanrio has actually been arguing this before now. In a set of usage guidelines for Hello Kitty's image, Sanrio states specifically that animal references should not be used in reference to her. "Hello Kitty is not a cat, she is a girl," it says.
