Yes, you read that headline right. And no, its not videos of cats having sex, but rather cleverly marketed movies for people who love watching cats do cat-like things, such as sleeping, playing with toys, stretching in odd positions, and sleeping some more. But the real brilliance is in how far they take the product to imitate the style of Japans adult videos. Even the company name, Soft On Nyanko, is a spoof on one of the larger producers of adult entertainment, Soft On Demand.
The movies are called neko AV (cat AV), where AV usually stands for adult video in Japan, here its supposed to mean animal video. The parody continues with the box art, showcasing the same lettering design, phrases, and picture layouts on the back cover as you would find on the average Japanese porn DVD. Even Soft On Nyankos website (dont worry, that link is safe) mimics the large warning page on adult websites, only instead of asking visitors if they are of legal age, it makes sure that they really like cats.
The internet craze of funny cat pictures is just as popular in Japan as in the West, so it makes sense how the joke about cat pornography would come about. But Soft On Nyanko has apparently been around since 2003, and these videos are nowhere near mainstream, so one wonders how much they really sell. I absolutely adore cats myself, but Im just as content to watch my own do silly things. You have to them credit though, this is one clever gag, even by Japanese standards. Check out more of the box covers below.

(24 posts)4. I'm familiar enough with Japanese porn that I "get" the parody.
I'm not particularly proud of that, mind you.
