Hello Kitty is not a cat but an English girl
"On August 26th, 2014 just ahead of the first Hello Kitty Con 2014, the LA Times reported that Christine R. Yano, an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii, discovered in a discussion with Sanrio that Kitty White was not, in fact, a cat, describing her as being a little English girl called Kitty White from outside London. While many news sources echoed the sentiment,[10][11] Preston Phro of RocketNews24 called Sanrio directly for clarification. The Sanrio PR representative said, "We never said she was a human," and also explained the concept of anthropomorphization, "Hello Kitty is a 擬人化 (gijinka), a personification or anthropomorphization. Basically just like Micky Mouse...No one would mistake the Disney character for a human–but at the same time he’s not quite a mouse. Just like Hello Kitty isn’t a human, she’s not quite a cat either.'

When ones world get flipped upsidedown
"Like the wind crying endlessly through the universe, Time carries away the names and the deeds of conquerors and commoners alike. And all that we are, all that remains, is in the memories of those who cared we came this way for a brief moment." Harlan Ellison
