Introducing Nekomayu
On August 25, 2026, Matching World Co., Ltd., based in Shibuya, Tokyo, launched an innovative cat care net called 'Nekomayu'. This product aims to seamlessly blend daily cat grooming routines with emergency preparedness, ensuring that pet owners can care for their cats even in times of crisis.
The Concept Behind Nekomayu
The central theme of 'Nekomayu' is simple yet profound: integrate everyday care into disaster readiness. The idea is to have a net that isn’t just reserved for emergencies, but one that is part of the usual grooming process. Therefore, pet owners don't need to set aside specific equipment for unexpected situations; instead, they can rely on tools they regularly use. This approach proposes a new way of thinking about pet disaster preparedness that maintains the importance of everyday living with pets while ensuring peace of mind in emergencies.
Comprehensive Use Cases
Daily Care
Every cat requires routine nail trimming, and 'Nekomayu' makes this process not only manageable but habitual. Using this net in daily life naturally leads to a state of preparedness for unforeseen situations, eliminating the need for last-minute arrangements.
Outings
Whether heading to the vet, traveling, or visiting family, 'Nekomayu' is designed for convenience and is perfect for outings with feline companions. The ease of carrying along familiar care items diminishes stress for both pet and owner.
Emergency Evacuations
In the unfortunate event of a disaster, 'Nekomayu' can transform into a dependable pet disaster preparedness tool. With pets often feeling stressed in new environments, it's vital to be equipped with familiar items, reducing anxiety for both pets and owners during emergencies.

Everyday Preparedness
Disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, and floods can happen at any time, making preparedness essential. Households with pets require various provisions, including food, drinking water, and other care supplies. However, in emergencies that extend over time, considering the usual 'care' routines for pets becomes significant.
Cats, known for being sensitive to changes in their environment, can experience high levels of stress in unfamiliar situations. Thus, it is crucial to gradually prepare for emergencies by incorporating daily care items into the mix. Rather than reserving certain products exclusively for emergencies, the guiding principle of 'Nekomayu' is to integrate commonly used items as valuable tools in times of need.
The Meaning Behind Nekomayu
The name 'Nekomayu' expresses the wish to gently envelop cats and seamlessly integrate into daily life for caregivers. The term ‘mayu’ (meaning cocoon) carries a soft and kind connotation, resonating with younger generations while embodying an image of comfort for cats. From everyday care to travel and emergency situations, 'Nekomayu' strives to provide security in all aspects of cat ownership.
Looking Ahead
Matching World Co., Ltd. continues its commitment to the pet business with established brands like 'Bark Won' for dogs and 'Cats Bliss' for cats. Future developments will cater not only to health and comfort but also to everyday care, travel, and emergency preparedness tailored towards enriching the lives of pets and their owners.
They also plan to leverage their social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok under the handle 'Gohobi Times' to share insights into using their products and enhance the lives of pets and their owners.
