The Cathood of the Travelling Hello Kitty Head
As has been well established, Hello Kitty by herself is frightening, but Hello Kitty fanatics rarely are able to leave this frightfulness alone. They have to test the limits. They do this by projecting that their love of Hello Kitty must also be shared by their pets. So they decide that placing a Hello Kitty face on their cats and dogs would be a good idea.
Now, one would assume that it could never get worse than this (mainly because it’s so nightmarishly frightening that nobody in their right mind would want to even try to take it further), but of course, it can always get worse in Hello Kitty Hell. That is because once Hello Kitty fanatics have their cat and the Hello Kitty hood, they then think “Wow, wouldn’t it be great to create something with Hello Kitty like Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?” The result? They make a group called “The Cathood of the Travelling Hello Kitty Head” (although I wish I was, I kid you not…)
Of course, my wife thinks this is the greatest idea since Hello Kitty toast and wants to join. “Wouldn’t our cats just look adorable in that and then we could share their photos with everyone all over the world” (an informal poll of our cats say that they are siding with me that it would definitely not be “adorable” and have even indicated they will be willing to sleep with me on the couch in the Hello Kitty sleeping bag if worst comes to worst).
According to the group leader of “The Cathood of the Travelling Hello Kitty Head” is off to England and Australia — which begs the question – is there any doubt that it will one day make its way to Japan? And while this entire concept is nightmarishly frightening (the cats and I are still arguing whether it it more nightmarish for me or them), we all know that in Hello Kitty Hell this will somehow find a way to get worse…
Sent in by Valerie (via Hello Kitty Fan Club Catster Group – where there are many more photos for those who have the stomach — scroll to bottom) who should have to wear these Hello Kitty heads herself for the rest of her life to get a feeling of how these cats must feel for even considering that sending me the link was a good idea…

Woo Hoo!! Go Hello Kitty Head!!! I love it, I wore it, I want more to wear it.
Proud to be a part of the Cathood of the Travelling Hello Kitty Head!! It is being reported the the HK Head smells of Friendship
gads, that IS frightening – cat heads devoured by disfigured HK heads.
OM NOM NOM NOM
Those cats look miserable. Especially the first and fith one.
I’m part of the Cathood!!! I wore it and hated to part with it. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Hello Kitty!!!!!!!
It is my opnion that whoever likes this idea should be locked up in a insane asslyum forever. But this is merely my opnion.
Go Hello Kitty head! Woot woot! Proud member of the Cathood here!
Yippppeeeeeee – proud to be a member of the Cathood of the Travelling HK Head! I’m kitty #4, and I look fabulous in the HK head – as do we all! Hello Kitty rules!
The Cathood is much too complicated for a mere human to understand.
Those cats are planning bloody revenge. Anyone who can’t see it shouldn’t even have cats.
Can’t you ever give it a rest? The only nightmare is the nightmare of your writing on this blog.
Why would you want to be mean about something that is so cute? It’s obvious from the photos that the cats love the Hello Kitty head piece just as would be expected. It’s a brilliant idea that spreads the joy of Hello Kitty to all.
It’s sad that it has come to the point where you can’t even admit when something is cute. You are so biased that no matter what, you will only see negative and then think you’re funny when you just appear ridiculous. Why don’t you give this blog to someone who has a true understanding of Hello Kitty and what she represents. Then at least everything wouldn’t be a bunch of mean lies.
Hi, I’m Busby (blue-eyed cat, 6th from the top).
The first step is to admit you are powerless over the Hello Kitty Head…
darlene… who are you?
and why would you think that any animal would want ANYTHING AT ALL strapped to their heads for the amusement of humans?
EEEWWW… Poor kitties… they don’t look too happy, and I can understand…
Wow, that second cat sure is handsome. Wonder who he is? Oh, wait a minute that is ME!!!!
Hey, I enjoyed that Hello Kitty head. The only thing that made me unhappy about the Hello Kitty head was having to send it on it’s way. I got over it pretty quickly when I saw pictures of my friends with it.
Long live Hello Kitty!!!
Just forcing an animal to wear any “cute little outfit” is sickening, and in my opinion cruel to the poor cat or dog who has to wear the thing. I think thats an offense worthy of a good smack….putting the cats in a Hello Kitty Hood is worthy of being put an insane asylum.
The cats do NOT like being put in “cute little outfits” no matter how delusional you are. If they had and wanted to wear clothes, why would they fight so hard to keep you from doing it? Cats get pissy about collars, what makes you think they’ll like a hood? I hope one day your cats get revenge on you for the crap your putting them through.
My mom said she wants a dog to dress but I have a male cat, we call him meow meow.. and he would look sooo cute in that! <3
I am trying to find one here in Japan to use on him.

All of these cats look miserable, if you think they look the slightest bit happy then you should be locked in an assylum as well.
it looks like hk is eating the cat., Scince the cat’s head comes out where HK’s non-existent mouth would be. Lol. I pity the cats tho.
I would so do this to my cat. It would only be for a picture… then I’d take it off and mail the thing on its way. It’d be too funny though.
Wow I don’t know what’s creepier. The fact that humans have done something like this to their cats or the fact that these humans are referring to themselves as cats in their comments.
i know it’s not wrong at all that i find it gratifying that those poor kitties look so miserable about what’s being done to them…kitty #6 looks exactly as i would feel: wtf is this and how do i get it off; FAST…
halloween horrors pale in comparison…
*SHUDDER*
Alex – AMEN ^5
darlene – i can refer you to a nice doctor who prescribes meds to stop the delusions/hallucinations. i know i’m not the only one thinking: if you don’t like it, -why are you here-???
okay. i’ve said my piece for the day.
yeah, they do all look pissed! I don’t know if I could get my kitties to hold still long enough for a shot.
I tried to put them in orange peel helmets, but that was a disaster, and I’m still not forgiven.
At least you’ll have company in the sleeping bag!
I am a proud HK head wearer.
Everyone else is just mad that they didn’t think of it first. It smelled so neat. Hello Kitty rocks and will soon take over the world!!!!! LOL!!!!!
This HK Head Hat was sold by Sanrio for pets. It is very soft and plush and very cute for a picture.
Hello Kitty Fans love Hello Kitty Hell !! We are enjoying all the comments, positive or negative. This is all for fun.
um… i just come here accidentally.
and…i want to tell you that, “wow~~ this is the first time that i have enjoyable moment when i looking at Hello Kitty.” (especially looking at those art…..i really believe that everything has innocent looking, there must be something evil inside…..)
haha~~~ i was always wondering, why do this cat (of cause, without mouth) can be so famous? (i know that there are so many stuff with Hello Kitty….=_=)
is it true that some people love Hello Kitty just like…
is it call obession? \(=w=)/
anyway, i really like this website~ ^_^
i will be here if i have time~~~~
If you rearranged these photos somewhat, you get an illustration of Kubler-Ross’ five stages of grief: denial (pic 3, 6), anger (pic 2), bargaining (pic 5), depression (pic 7) and acceptance (pic 1, 4). I don’t think the cats like the hats.
Wow. I love Hello Kitty but I would never subject my cats to wearing a traveling cathead. Those cats are probably plotting there revenge right now.
I am patiently awaiting the arrival of the HK head over here in the UK….i cant wait to post my pic on the group page. Bobbie xxx
TeratoMarty: HAHAH! Love it!
Alex: Torture is not wearing a Hello Kitty head. Torture is trying to read your e-mail.
Suzanne: Bingo! That’s what we did! Most of the kitties had the head on less time than it takes to clip their nails. Sugar definitely preferred wearing the head to getting her nails clipped!
Cruel and unusual punishment for a cat to endure. Seriously, the people that participate in that are MEAN AND EVIL and SHOULD BE FLOGGED AND BEATEN IN THE STREET.
And for all the people that are obsessed with Hello Kitty here, you should all go away. Evil and mean is what you are doing to these cats. Next they’ll be dressing their cats up in full costume.
Oh crap.
it’s squishing them!
What is sick is that someone has put the HK head on the box holding the ashes of a dead cat.
What is up with that?
Weird.
Those poor things!!!
Someone call the ASPCA, stat!!!
boy, those cats are plotting revenge big time
Wow, that kind of explains why my boy cats were muttering:
“The first rule of Hello Kitty Head Club is – you do not talk about Hello Kitty Head Club. The second rule of Hello Kitty Head Club is – you DO NOT talk about Hello Kitty Head Club. Third rule of Hello Kitty Head Club is – when your human puts the Hello Kitty Head on you, go limp, let her take the picture and the thing is over. Then – shit in her favorite shoes.”
I am on Catster, and a proud member of the Hello Kitty Fan Club! I didn’t want to be in the Cathood of the Traveling HK Head because I refuse to wear anything on my head for more than one milisecond!
But I still think it’s a cute idea, and all those kitties look so cute with it on, and they smell the scents of their very best friends. That’s cool!
HK, Catster, and the Cathood of the Traveling HK Head rocks!!
Darlene, anyone with the IQ of a rock can tell these cats don’t look happy. In fact, they look downright pissed! Cats do NOT like hats, or any other “cute” clothes that the foolish people try to force them to wear. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional, and anyone who actually has a cat should damn well know better.
And why don’t you quit insulting HKH and just go live at the Sanrio site from now on. His comments are what make this site hilarious, and you are a prime example of the delusional-ness of the HK fanatic.
Poor cats ! What a mistreatment !
Woo Hoo, I’m getting the Hello Kitty Head in Australia. Go Hello Kitties.
PS To the person who posted “mistreatment!” Are you nuts. These cats are by far some of the world’s most loved and spoilt rotten kitty cats.
Purrs from Rizza (proud to be a Catster Cat)
If it weren’t for HK and us you wouldn’t have anything to talk about.
:OP
As a proud memeber of the Traveling Sisterhood of the HK Head I would like to point out that:
1. We cats ALWAYS look annoyed
2. The head is not heavy and does not squish us
3. I was given many treats for the three seconds the hat was on.
4. Shortly thereafter I was so “upset” by the whole matter that I fell asleep on the couch
5. If it is small revenge for the woman who has to live with the man who blogs about Hello Kitty Hell!
6. And lastly, don’t be afraid, join us….one of us, one of us…LOL!
Good gravy, the people who own those cats are deluded to think those cats look anything but totally disgusted. I would never dress my cats up in anything, but most assuredly not a Hello Kitty head that looks like it weighs over 2 pounds.
These cats look really pissed off… Some even look in pain :/
I would never, never do that to my cat. Cats hate having something on their head… It looks like there’s a giant Hello Kitty zombie behind them, trying to eat their brains. Scary.
If my cats tolerated things on their heads, I’d do it, lol. But as is, I’d rather not torture my poor kitties.
Chrissy here. (“depressed Cat #7″). I wasn’t too crazy about wearing the Head, but I did enjoy the treats afterwards. Plus, I got to nap a bit with my head inside Hello Kitty and it did smell of Wonderful Friendship.
Mom now only wishes that she too had thought of placing the head on FUBAR’s (deceased) urn. THAT was a funny picture.
Um, torture? I think not. Just some good, silly fun.
I do believe it looks like the cats are being devoured by Hello kitty… Poor cats.
I wore it!! And I had a great time doing it!! My BROTHER even wore it and looked great in it too!! We only wore it for the picture, and it made for great pictures! We love to get dressed up for pictures because we know we get treats and cuddles after the fact! Plus, it smelled so good! I got to smell all of my furriends!!
RE: Rizza’s comment-All of these cats are treated better than most humans! They are pampered pets and are extremely loved!!
You people pretending to be cats are Nuts!
