CYBERNEKO O-TABBI EARL GREY Edition

The MANEKI-NEKO 招き猫 (beckoning cat) is a symbol of luck and
prosperity, found in many homes and businesses, throughout Asia and
much of the world.

CYBERNEKO” is the 21st century version of a tribe of lucky cats,
created by French-British author, artist and designer Henry Chebaane,
inspired by his love of Cyberpunk stories, Manga, Anime and Asian
cultures.
He is the author of the cult steampunk graphic novel series THE
PANHARMONION CHRONICLES, a blend of mystery, horror, sci-fi and
alternative history.

It is while writing his new novel KINGDOM UNITED, (due out 2025) that
the idea for “CYBERNEKO” came to him. The story is about Neeta Rao,
a Singaporean botanist who becomes a vigilante on the streets of
London. She has multiple family issues and find comfort in the company
of the cats she rescues. In her flat she keeps a collectible toy as a
reminder of her childhood in Katong.

This collectible toy is a cool cat called "O-TABBI". Her mother used to tell the bedside story of a regular tabby cat roaming the back alleys at night
to defend his neighbourhood against all sorts of nasty people. Because
of this, everyone was referring to him with the Japanese honorific prefix
"O".

This first version of O-TABBI is called "Earl Grey" to honour his new
home of London’s Camden. His body is a warm, deep smoky grey with
jet black stripes. His ears, nose, shield and collar are hi-lighted in a soft
hue of metallic copper. His eyes are white with large black pupils with a
thin gold rim.
