It is #InternationalCatDay and I just happened to be reading a Japanese legend about Okesa neko today.

She was a calico cat raised by a poor old woman. When they ran out of food, the cat turned herself into a beautiful geisha to earn money for the old lady. She enchanted everyone with her marvelous singing and dancing.

However, when a ship captain spied her true form (eating fish heads), she chased him in a dark cloud and kidnapped him from his ship.
