Hello Kitty is a cliche. If you stop and think about it, most strangers, when approaching a cat to pet it, will say Hello Kitty, because they don't know its name. If your daughter and her friends like the Hello Kitty phrase, don't be surprised when one of them wants to name a new kitten or cat, Hello Kitty.

Because it's a kitten: looks tame, lovable, furry friend. and the basic primary colors of its character are pink, red or white, which is so girlish. Plus the company did launch a hell lot of accessories so it's so typical of girls who love to collect things and compete about their collection.
