Nekoyanagi (means cat willow) is an adorable kitty who just turned two years old this year. He is a beautiful Scottish Fold with a dynamic personality. He looks like Maru the famous YouTube cat except his ears are folded 
.
Though Nekoyanagi has a slight problem in his legs, he never lets it stop him when he plays. He gets very excited when his hooman throws a ball across the room. He will go after it, snatch it and bunny kick it with everything he’s got. You can hardly tell there is any problem with his legs.
Nekoyanagi loves to groom himself every night in the bathroom. It is an adorable thing that always makes his hooman smile.

Nekoyanagi has a strong personality, but he is not a big fan of being held unless you offer him his favorite treat. When there are strangers in the house, he takes refuge underneath the bed and will not come out.
Nekoyanagi’s hooman woke up several times at night by some strange noise coming from the kitchen. Later it was discovered that Nekoyanagi was stealing yogurt and pudding off the kitchen counter. He totally goes crazy for those things. If you have some pudding in your hand, he will not stop meowing and begging for it until you let him take a whiff.

Awwwww!!! What a cutie!!!
That is absolutely adorable, but I saw nothing really looking wrong with his leg?
His hooman told me it is some bone problem in his legs, but he surely does not show it at all when he plays.
Ohmygoodness! Too cute!
Too cute!! That baby is gorgeous!
I didn't see the leg problem either, but he is absolutely adorable! He *does* look like a Mini Maru.
Those eyes are soul stealers!
He look like a baby version of my big brother, he is a real cutie!
so cute and cuddly!
He really does look like Maru.
Thank you for featuring my precious Nekoyanagi!
I’m sorry that my meaning was not clear. He doesn't like to brush his teeth, but loves grooming in the bathroom every night like this movie. ->http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L88m_i1s4tI
You always come up with the best picitures. That is one cute kitty. What great expressions. I bet he is great fun to have around all the time.
Hope you have a wonderful day.
Oh my goodnesss!!
Nekoyanagi is so so so so adorable!!!! He does look like Maru – but with his own little sweet personality!! And what pics!! Brilliant! He has the biggest roundest eyes doesn't he?? He is beautiful.
Thanks for sharing!
Take care

those photographs are amazing – what is every cat owner you know an amazing photographer! he does look like maru! so sweet!
he is adorable. If I didnt already have 8 cats I would have to get a Scottish Fold!
Maybe Maru and Nekoyanagi are from the same litter?
Nekoyanagi definitely looks like he could be Maru's baby bro, with super cute eyes and his playfulness. He even has stern faces he pulls juts like when Maru is sulking.
Nekoyanagi born on 04-MARCH-2008 [on his website].
While Maru is on 24-MAY-2007.
Maybe a cousin or a half brother if they both are from the same cat breeder.
Nekoyanagi – To me he is more feminine cute.
Maru – Is more quirky cute.

TOO MUCH CUTE.
Awwww, what a darling cat! He is beautiful.
is it just me or everything Japanese is sooo much cuter than things North American? Even the cats are cuter in Japan.
Well, see, these cats are from Scotland, not Japan, so…
so..so..so cute….
It's tooo adorable…I think my head just exploded from cute overload!
Cuuuuutttee!!!! Always amusing when kitties & doggies say "feed me, feed me" like they have been starving all their lives when u fed them 6 hours ago…
LOL!! No kidding. My Georgie: "Mom. MOMMMM. Feed me, I'm STARVING. I'm so hungry, I'm gonna DIE!!!!"
Although, the insane cuteness of his self-satisfied face-washing afterward is totally worth all the drama.
ohhhh myyy so beautiful !!!!
he looks like a very good eater and sleeper! maru is a very cute kittie, but you don't have to look like him to be cute! Nekoyanagi is beautiful all on his own
Awww that baby with a round face and eyes is BEAUTIFUL and hilarious!
"Ahh this is comfy" and "What are you looking at?" are my favourite pictures
You can easily see he has big personality!
