Gonbe

Gonbe (ゴンベ, Gonbe) is known as Chimney's pet cat, although it is actually a rabbit. He makes the sound of a cat ("nya"; Japanese equivalent of "meow"), but has the body of a rabbit, including long ears and a cotton-tail. Gonbe is never seen away from Chimney's side: he goes wherever she goes, often mimicking her actions. He is rarely seen without a broad smile.
