A quick question about the cat featured on 'pals theme' aka one of the mascots of H+

[MedicationHelps87]

Is it the same cat featured in Azumanga Daioh, (anime/manga) The brown striped breed?
Or am I just assuming that, since it has stripes or whatnot.

The Iriomote cat

Thanks for hearing me out.

it is called par, leader of par pals

I'm not sure about this one, maybe it's just imaginary cat of H+ tech admin

par, and by extension the other plus pals (magi & minus) actually represent mathematical symbols
- par is equals (=) (hence the = stripes)
- Magi (AKA the best mascot) is plus (+)
- minus is ofc minus (-)

So it's maths then @Polaris_Tae. My worst subject lol
Thanks for explaining this.

Funny you should mention this. Polaris is absolutely correct, however there is one more layer to them.
We decided to have each of them represent the countries of our 3 designated genres (kpop, jpop, cpop).
Par is... a cat, but is actually inspired by a white tiger. Magis is a monkey for Japan and Minus is a panda for china!

Yep. Fun tidbit, Toast ( why is your name an emote as well I cant @ you smh) is the creator of the Plus Pals as well. I just thought it was a cute cat she kept posting around and it ended up becoming the mascot
