What’s wrong with having a furry mascot exactly? I mean the Japanese Air force had a furry mascot for one of their bases, not only is he a furry but also a femboy. His name is Omaneko (おまねこ)

Google Deepl’s translation of the text in the first pic:
Cat with magical powers
Motif: “Nekozuka,” a tourist attraction in Omaezaki City
A member of the 1st Nyanya Police Force. He is currently stationed at the base because he wants to play with the radar dome.
He is 176 cm tall, or 40 m. He is good at sports, but not good in water.
He is a male.

It’s ambiguous. Either above-average male height (by Japanese standards) or 23 times that.
