One of several articles from about a month ago on the subject.

The character is a gijinka, an anthropomorphism or personification of a cat. In August 2014 an anthropologist from the University of Hawaii was told by Sanrio that Kitty White was not simply a cat (i.e. "depicted on all fours"), describing her as a little English girl called Kitty White, from outside London.[13][14] Following reports that interpreted this to mean she was human, a Sanrio PR representative said that the organization had "never said she was a human", explaining anthropomorphization by comparing the character to Mickey Mouse: "No one would mistake the Disney character for a human–but at the same time he's not quite a mouse. Just like Hello Kitty isn't a human, she's not quite a cat either."[3] Sanrio stated further, "Hello Kitty was done in the motif of a cat. It's going too far to say that Hello Kitty is not a cat.[1]

3- Preston Phro Rocket "Hello Kitty isn’t a cat!? We called Sanrio to find out!". Retrieved 29 August 2014. your LA times article is refuted here.

SO she is not a cat and not a person but she is a she.

Like all news, I saw the original hyperbolic article and not the well-reasoned retraction/explanation later, which I'm sure was buried deep, or at least not pointed out by anybody who repeated the original "news".
Sensationalism sells. Corrections do not.

Very well said, although I think maybe caution towards the unknown is prudent. That said, I'm with Bob on this one in terms of personal tastes.

I thought a condom showing an image of Tiny Chum would be a cock blocker but then again I always thought that "Hello Kitty" looked like Hannibal Lector with a bow in his hair.

This is a genius way of bringing up sex in a bar room conversation. Ordering now...
