Original Note:
This happened in 2015 after several months of scant rainfall in Muang Khai district in Thailand. This ceremony typically involves parading a cat through the village, with the belief that the wet feline will appease the rain gods and bring much-needed precipitation. https://www.thairath.co.th/news/local/508100 https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/606276/doraemon-used-in-rain-praying-ritual https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-33310577 https://animehunch.com/thailand-substitutes-cat-with-doraemon-for-rainmaking-ritual/
