I am excited that I have a new edition and new publisher for my book KAIBYO: THE SUPERNATURAL CATS OF JAPAN. I increased the text, added some new images, and basically fixed all the stuff that has been bugging me since it's first release 8 years ago.
It's a banger.

In Japan, if your cat lives too long it can transform into a kaibyo--a magic cat.
This is not a good thing. There are several species of kaibyo. The nekomata is identified by its twin tails, and its proclivity of hunting and eating humans.

Today in Japan it's National Cat Day. In Japan, cats say "nyan" rather than "meow" and today's date is 22/2 (ni ni ni) which sounds a bit like “nyan nyan nyan”. I don't need any excuse to celebrate cats & I've written about cats in #JapaneseFolklore & culture here:
