The cat drivers licences were a phenomenon popular in the early 1980s. I'm not sure who came up with that idea, but probably not bosozoku, as it mocks them. There are also bosozoku cat posters and toys. Try yahoo.jp auctions to see if any are on sale at the moment.

namenaya= lit. don't lick me, fig. don't mess with me
Maybe the association of licking and cats is how this bosozoku phrase turned into nameneko.

Ok, thanks for explaining the real story. I think I'll keep my ignorant headline as-is, because it's "catchy."

I'd love to see some more links on this topic too, if anyone has them.

BTW, please register, Edf*ck Jingai-sama, or I may force an account on you... :mad2:
