Charmmy Kitty (チャーミーキティ, Chāmī Kitī) is a Sanrio character who is Hello Kitty's pet cat, resembling her but with more cat-like features. She is a cute, pretty, spunky, friendly white Persian with a pink lace-trimmed bow tied below her left ear. Her name comes from the word "Charm" as she wears the key to Kitty's jewelry box around her neck. The key was given to her because shiny, sparkly things are said to make her happy. Charmmy is also very kind and polite, but sassy at times.
