In Japan, when we describe how cats meow, we go “Nyan” or “Nya”.

That meowing sound and how the number “2 (=ni)” sounds are very similar, which is thought to be why they made this day a Cat’s Day, like 2 (Nyan), 2 (Nyan) and 2 (Nyan). Therefore, as we get closer to this day, various cats’ Goods become on sale and various cats’ related events take place as well. The towns or even the games liven up during that time.
