Why does the anime cat, Doraemon doesn had ears?
“Doraemon originally had ears but they were bitten off by a robotic mouse in the 22nd century. As a result, he developed a morbid fear of mice despite being a robotic cat. He also has the tendency to panic during emergencies, characterized by him frantically trying to pull out a very much-needed tool from his pocket, only to produce a huge assortment of unrelated household items.” “According to a story arc in the spin-off manga series, “The Doraemons”, Doraemon’s original paint color was yellow. He changed color after getting his ears gnawed off by a robot mouse, which caused him to slip into depression on top of a tower, where he drank a potion labeled “sadness” and as he wept, the yellow color was washed off and his voice changed due to the potion. These events are what caused Doraemon to have such a huge fear of mice, despite the fact he’s actually a robot cat and these events were also animated into a 2005 intro to the current anime series.
