◆ About Bananya ◆
Bananya is just about the cutest (if not weirdest) kitty cat you’ve ever seen...and on top of that, he lives inside a banana! How, you ask? Well technically, no one has ever seen the part of him that’s hidden by the rest of the banana peel, so who knows? We do know that when there’s no one around, he’ll secretly have fun and even play mischievous pranks! He loves fun in general, sweet and yummy pastries, and his dream is to one day become the ultimate fashionable chocolate banana.
