On YouTube, two cats named Chacha and Maron appear in channel called “Nyanneru(にゃんねる)”. Sometimes another cat Pooh-chan appears. Currently there are about 190,000 subscribers.This channel was accused of abandoning cat rearing. And recently cats owners has accused of giving the cat chocolate.
Cat owner’s name is Hiromu. Hiromu has been posted videos on YouTube for three years. His channel name was “Hirochanneru”. He did not narrow down genres. he has tried various things.
In January 2016, he announced on video of YouTube he begun to keep a cat. A cat’s name is Chacha. Chacha is a girl. Her type is Norwegian Forest Cat.
In September 2016, he made a subchannel. Later he began to post videos about only cats on that subchannel. And he changed the subchannel name into “Nyannneru”. Perhaps the meaning of Nyanneru is a combination of nyan and channel. The Japanese express the call of the cat as Nyan-Nyan. Also, Nyanko means cats in English (It is not a formal word. In English it is like kitty).
In December 2016, he announced he begun to keep another cat on video of YouTube. A cat’s name is Maron. Maron is a boy. His type is American curl.
He has belonged to UUUM since 2017. UUUM is YouTuber’s agency.
In November 2017, He announced that Kou who appeared irregularly in the video by wearing mask and sunglasses is a twin brother. And he said that planned going to take videos of YouTube with Kou. Due to this, he changed the channel name. New channel name is “TWINS”. The current field of this channel is sports.
In December 2018, Hiromu and Kou announced they were going to move.
Hiromu has lived alone. And Kou has lived alone, too. Of course, also this moving, they don’t live together. So they rent each house and live separately.
Hiromu was accused of moving again. It is said that cats are getting stresses about moving. This is the third time for Chacha 3 years old to move. Also, This is the second time for Maron 2 years old to move.
And Hiromu said in Kou’s new house that “I don’t live with two cats or take videos of YouTube in my new house”.
From that time, two cats Chacha and maron begun to live with Kou.
Hiromu was criticized by many people the fact that he left a cats with his brother Kou. For cats it’s painful just to move, moreover, they cannot become to live with their owner. Certainly, Kou is Hiromu’s brother. But cats had never lived with Kou until then.
Hiromu deleted the video which he said that “I don’t live with two cats or take videos of YouTube in my new house”. And he has never revealed the reason.
A viewer said that ” I hope Hiromu live with cat. I feel sorry for cats owner’s change. If he cannot take videos in his room, I don’t have to see “Nyanneru”. Only I wish two cats live with Hiromu and happily every after”.
Another viewer said that “Hiromu said “It is no different that I am a cat owner.” But I cannot think you are a cats owner because you are not live with them. In that case, they are like cats for only taking videos of YouTube not family. ”
Kou is also criticized. Because he decided to keep a cat which name is poo-chan, but he don’t live with her now. She is in Hirmo and Kou’s parent’s house.
In his case, he explained the reason why he did not live with her. He decided to help Hiromu’s work. But he had lived in Aichi then. It is very hard to come and go between Tokyo and Aichi again and again.So he decide to live in Tokyo. Because his parent’s lives in a detached house and they are good at taking care of her, he judged it is a pleasant surroundings for her.
A lot of viewers were convinced the explain until now.
However this issue is being argued again.
Recently, Hiromu and Kou were criticized by many people again. It was because, although Chacha held chocolate in her mouth, they prioritized taking videos rather than stopping her.
After that, they hold out chocolate to her mouth. Of course she did not eat.
↓Chocolate is harmful for cats.
↓He confessed Chacha ate chocolate in the past.
There were lots of viewers’ voices saying “I am in fear!”.
Sometimes viewers are over-sensitized.
But I hope they become more cautious about handling of cats.
