Description
The closest English translation of the kanji above the cat is "innocence". The meaning is slightly different, however, as it refers to a childlike carefree and happy innocence. The separate kanji characters refer to the universe and being right, so it might be taken to mean that it refers to being in line with how the universe intended things to be, and to radiating brightness. All in all, it is easy to see how this applies to the cat, who is natural, unspoiled, and is exactly the way it is intended to be.
