Bakeneko are cat yōkai and are great shapeshifters, often posing as humans. This bakeneko was modeled after our late kitty Grey Papa, although I've been told by a few friends that he also reminds them of Marshall. 

Some legends say a cat will turn into a bakeneko after living for more than 13 years. Our Grey Papa lived much longer than 13 years so we like to think he's turned into a bakeneko and is dancing and wandering around making mischief.

Of the cat yōkai, the bakeneko can be recognized by its two tails.

Yao no kitsune are the most powerful of the kitsune (fox) yōkai that have eight tails.

There are actually stories in history of the yao no kitsune healing illnesses through dreams. Kitsune are known for their shapeshifting abilities.

They gain tails with age, up to nine of them for the ultimate amount of wisdom and power.

They are closely associated with the Inari (the Shinto white fox deity).

This yao no kitsune has a chōchin obake (paper lantern yokai) and tsukumogami (items that turn into yōkai after existing for 100 years) tea kettle as sidekicks.

Kasa-obake are a type of tsukumogami, yōkai of items that are over 100 years old.

They are usually depicted bouncing around on one leg with their one eye staring out.

They also are known for their looong tongues.

Some umbrella yōkai are known for trapping people in place on dark rainy nights, however this kasa-obake just wants to dance in the rain with you.
