Reporting by Jordan Allen, a freelance journalist in Tokyo.

Are you a cat person? If so, Japan is the place to be on 22 February because this is when Cat Day is celebrated.

.

Now in its 30th year, Cat Day has lit up Japanese social media with endless portraits of ...cats as well as cat-themed doughnuts, cat-shaped biscuits, cat manga, cats staring soulfully out of windows, kittens mewing expectantly and so on. On this day it is Japan's hugest trend on social media.

. . .

How did it start?

The event began in 1987 after an Executive Cat Day Committee polled cat-lovers across Japan and decided that February 22 should be Cat Day.

Other countries also have days to celebrate cats, but few marked with as much enthusiasm as Japan's.

Some of Japan's celebrity cats

A cat called Tama made headlines after becoming honorary stationmaster of a train station in Wakayama prefecture. Wearing a special cat-sized stationmaster's hat, she was a popular tourist attraction until her death in June 2015.

Tama was duly inducted into a hall of fame for the station's train line in February 2016.

What happens on Cat Day?

Known as "Neko no Hi", it was chosen because the date's numerals, 2/22 (ni ni ni), are pronounced fairly closely to the sound a cat makes in Japan (nyan nyan nyan).

.

You can play tricks on your cat

.

.

You can dress up as a cat

.

.

You can make food look like cats

.

.

But what if you're not a cat person?

Fret not. This day, 22 February, is also Ninja Day in Japan (another play on 'two' being pronounced as 'ni').

Koka city in Shiga prefecture is one of the better known places to celebrate this occasion, with town hall staff dressing as elusive assassins for the day.
