A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

The difference between the two signs (both visual and textual) got me wondering how official these ones are.

They don't appear in the list of Japanese road signs on wiki which does have warnings for some animals (but not cats) and so I'm wondering, are local areas allowed to provide supplemental signs at the prefectural or city level?

Or are these actually completely unofficial signs, put up by a village, or neighbourhood group, or even by individual residents?

And if they aren't official, what's the legality? In many places in the world, putting up custom signs which mimic the appearance of actual road signs is a definite no-no.

They're cute signs and I love them, but I'm curious now and I wish I had some answers lol.
