The Catbus
The Catbus is a large, grinning twelve-legged cat with a hollow body that serves as a bus. It's a popular character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, and has been featured in a spinoff film, toys, an art car, and the Ghibli Museum. The Catbus is believed to be based on the Japanese bakeneko, an ancient urban legend where cats that grow old learn to shape-shift.
