Is the "Cat's Favorite Denim Skirt" Made with Any Special Materials? Actually, GU Officially Provided the Answer Long Ago

Many people adore cats but often struggle with getting them to come close. Imagine if there was a skirt that, when worn, would attract cats to you. Recently, Japanese netizens have been buzzing about a denim skirt sold by the fashion brand GU, which appears to have this unique ability to draw cats in. This has sparked curiosity about whether the fibers or dyes used in the skirt contain something special.

The Buzz Around GU's Denim Skirt

A Japanese netizen known as りこパン (@ryichispa) recently shared her experience wearing this GU denim skirt at a cat café, noting that the cats showed an unusual obsession with the garment. Her post quickly went viral, garnering thousands of likes and shares.

Testimonials from Other Cat Owners

Many others have reported similar experiences with this particular skirt, which is described as having a soft fleece lining (裏フリースデニムスカート). One user commented:

"Whenever I wear this GU skirt to a cat café, the cats flock to me!"

Official Reactions and Speculations

The official GU website has also received reviews from customers noting that their denim skirts attract cats. One user mentioned:

"I bought a dark gray version of this skirt, and it’s adorable! However, I found it a bit loose even with thick sweaters underneath."

Interestingly, some users have suggested that GU's other products, such as denim pants and khakis, might also possess this peculiar charm for cats. However, not everyone has had success; one user lamented:

"I tried the skirt on my cat, but she showed no interest at all!"

The Mystery Behind the Attraction

This phenomenon raises questions about what might be causing such behavior in cats. If it is indeed related to the materials used in GU's skirts or dyes, why do some products fail to elicit the same response? Some speculate that it could be due to body odor or laundry detergent residues.

A History of Cat Attraction Claims

This isn't the first time such claims have surfaced. Back in 2019, Japanese gossip magazine Nikkan SPA! (日刊SPA！) conducted experiments suggesting that GU jeans attracted cats. However, when they reached out to GU for clarification, the company's response was:

"We do not use any materials in our dyes that might appeal to cats, and we cannot determine what causes their interest."

Conclusion: A Series of Coincidences?

This intriguing situation leaves many wondering if it's merely a coincidence or if there's something more at play with these garments. As discussions continue online, cat owners remain curious about the potential magical properties of GU's denim skirts.
