Omakase! Miracle Cat-dan facts for kids

Omakase! Miracle Cat-dan (which means "Leave it! To the Miracle Cat Group") is a fun Japanese anime series. It's also known as Omakase Mamitasu. The show was made by OLM, Inc. and Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions. It aired on NHK from March 31, 2015, to February 23, 2016.

This anime is based on a book called Neko no Ashiato. This book was written by Shoko Nakagawa and tells stories from her own life. The series is a comedy about ten unique cats and the funny Nakagawa family.

About the Show's Creation

The ten cats in the anime are inspired by the ten real cats that Shoko Nakagawa owns! She especially loves one cat named Mamitas. This cat is also the main character in the anime.

Even though the show is for kids, the people who made it hoped it would make everyone feel good. They wanted it to remind people of comforting things they might have forgotten. Shoko Nakagawa herself said she never dreamed her cat Mamitas would become an anime star. She watched a lot of anime when she was a kid. She learned about courage and love from those shows. She hopes this anime can do the same for other children.

The opening song for the show is called "Neko Boogie." It's sung by Shokotan♥Haruomi, which is a group with Haruomi Hosono and Shoko Nakagawa.
