Project Description
My favourite collection of Ankha NFT cats.
Ankha is a snooty cat villager in the Animal Crossing series. She first appeared in Animal Crossing as an islander, and she appears as a villager in all subsequent games except Animal Crossing: Wild World.
Her name is likely derived from the ankh, which is the Egyptian hieroglyphic character that reads life. Her Japanese catchphrase, Kufufu, is a combination of the Pharaoh Khufu, and ufufu, a Japanese onomatopoeia for laughter.
Egyptians worshiped cats and had a cat god, which may be where Ankha's design came from.
