![[From Wikipedia] Catbus (Japanese: ねこバス, Hepburn: Nekobasu) is a fictional character in the Studio Ghibli film My Neighbor Totoro, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. It is a large, grinning, twelve-legged cat with a large bushy tail and a hollow body that serves as a bus, with windows and seats covered with fur.
Here we see Catbus with a manic expression on their face as they zoom out of the sky and across the landscape leaving behind a Catbus-colored (tan and brown striped) streaking trail of jagged letters reading ‘Maybe it will happen today’.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:txddszqio2wctnyyxbbbaflj/bafkreidhzodfrcwjn6fpvyw6brx6y5us5pxfj6r2ctmt2naojydy7nqov4)
