The premise of Poyopoyo Kansatsu Nikki is that it's about a cat who is
completely round.

Does the series ever reveal why Poyo is so unusually shaped?

Why is Poyo completely round?


The short answer is no, it is never revealed. The series is more interested in
poking fun at the foibles of animals and everyday life in general, than
examining the strange physical dimensions of its protagonist(?).

The most likely reasons are for [the
Moe](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe) and [the
lulz](http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RuleOfFunny); that round cat
design is aesthetically cute, which is sufficient reason for inclusion within
a light comedy. Also the roundness gives all sorts of opportunities for
rolling away gags. Plus, the shape of the cat probably reminds its viewers
about balls, pork buns and rice balls. Any one of these things that are
animate would be rather amusing :)
