It appears we've all been wrongly assuming that a character that looks like a cat, and has Kitty in her name, is actually a cat, because Sanrio recently revealed that their beloved character Hello Kitty is actually a human girl. Not a cat. She's a little English girl called Kitty White from outside London. Here's what Sanrio had to say:
Hello Kitty is not a cat. She's a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She's never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it's called Charmmy Kitty.

Basically, it's a misrepresentation. Sanrio never said outright that she was human, only that they don't consider her an actual cat. It's like distinguishing between Goofy and Pluto.
