Now you can take your favorite animated cartoon cat everywhere you go with the Nyan cat Hoodie.
The bright and colorful hoodie is inspired by the YouTube video sensation, which shows a cat with a Pop-Tart body flying through space and leaving a trail of rainbow behind it while a Japanese pop song is played in the background. The sweater is adorned with a hood that has the likeness of the cats visage while the rest of it has a space design as well as a rainbow accent on the bottom.
Though it may still be uncertain as to why the video became so insanely popular in the first, the cozy and cute Nyan cat hoodie is a great keepsake to commemorate a moment in pop culture history.
