Create Your Own Cat for Free! Online Paper Doll "My Kitty Maker" Offers Over 200 Million Combinations

August 8th is not just Father's Day; it is also International Cat Day. The allure of cats is undeniable, and there are numerous "Cat Days" celebrated around the world. Initially, August 8th was Canada's International Cat Day, but since 2002, it has become a globally recognized feline celebration thanks to the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). As it is Cat Day, online discussions about cats are inevitable. Besides Google's Easter egg, where searching for "International Cat Day" reveals a special cat animation, Japan has a delightful online service called "Uchinoko MAKER" (My Cat Maker), where you can create your own paper cat dolls.

About Uchinoko MAKER

Operated by GRIT Inc., Uchinoko MAKER allows you to design your own cat paper dolls by selecting body size, color (including socks and gradients), eyes, ears, nose, facial spots, and tail. The system offers over 200 million combinations, enabling you to create either a replica of your pet or your dream cat. If you're in Japan, you can even pay to print your creations onto various merchandise. The only limitation is that the designs are based on real cats, so if you want a neon-colored cat, it's not possible. If you're interested, visit Uchinoko MAKER to start creating your feline friend.
