February 22nd is Cat Day! Information on cat-related events in Akihabara

This month, February 22nd (Saturday) is Cat Day.
Apparently, the date was decided on February 22nd in 1987 as a pun on the sounds a cat makes, "nyan, nyan, nyan."
By the way, Cat Day seems to vary depending on the country: Italy is February 17th, Taiwan is April 4th, Russia is March 1st, and the United States is October 29th.
So this time, I decided to look into cat events being held around Akihabara.
