她顯然很傷心，眼中含著淚水說，「我討厭這個消息。她看起來就是貓，她不可以是人，她是像在卡通片裡那樣，是舉動像人的貓！」
The clip was posted on YouTube by user Wizardofrum who wrote： "My daughter didn’t appreciate the truth about Hello Kitty. I didn’t know she wasn’t a cat either, poor girl."
這段影片被名為Wizardofrum的網友上傳到YouTube，寫道「我女兒不理解關於凱蒂貓的真相。我之前也不知道她不是貓，可憐的孩子。」
