In Japanese, the number two is read as ni or with some stretch of the imagination nya, which is often what your children call cats - nya nya. According to this wisdom, February 22nd or triple two, sounds like nya nya nya, and that is why we celebrate our feline friends on this cold winter day.
Happy Kitty Day!
