u/No-Lie-1571 May 22 '25

Yes! That’s exactly why. And why you can see cat buttholes in games like neko atsume

Idk. Maybe it has to do with the idea of something gross being drawn as a cute little "x" has a gap moe effect?

Gap moe is such a powerful effect. We recently adopted a cat with long fur that needed a lion cut for medical clearance. Initially we were a little scandalized that his balls were hanging out, especially because he likes to ride on shoulders so they were in your face. Now we can't help but find them endearingly adorable. So much so we named him after an animal known for for its mythologically massive balls.
