Talent Shoko Nakagawa attended the "Pet Line New Custom 'Dog Calendar/Cat Calendar Celebration'" event held in Tokyo on June 4th. Nakagawa, who announced that she was pregnant with her first child on May 5th, appeared with a plump belly.
Currently living with eight cats, the oldest of which is 18 years old. Nakagawa, who is known as one of the biggest cat lovers in the entertainment industry and is also active in fostering rescued cats, burst out with love for cats, saying, "Cats are my life. Cats are my family, my children, and I want to live my life in order to give back to the cats who give me endless, unconditional love."
She continued, "My family has loved cats for generations, and my grandparents met when my grandfather picked up a cat that passed by at an arranged marriage meeting." She continued, "In other words, if it weren't for cats, I wouldn't have been born, so I can only be grateful. No matter how difficult, happy, painful or fun times I've been in, I've always had cats by my side, which has allowed me to get through them and get through life."
The "Dog Calendar/Nyan Calendar Celebration" is a new custom proposed by the pet food manufacturer Petline Co., Ltd., to celebrate the milestone of when a beloved dog or cat turns 10 years old, just like a human's 60th birthday celebration. Actor Kokoro Terada also attended the event as a representative of dog lovers.
