Listen guys, Sushi Cats exist. Because is there really anything cuter than kitties hangin' out on beds of rice? Naw, man!

Sushi Cats are the photographic brainchild of Japanese company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts, featuring furballs dressed up in tasty accessories like lobster and pickles and, of course the inedible, bonnets and ping pong paddles.

But here's the burning question: Why is there so much attention on cats looking like sushi? Get this-- "the cats are a magical and historical creature that have been influencing humans since the beginning of time" (debatable).

Whether you're a fan of these cute nuggets or not, I think we can all agree the photo creations are quite magical. Check out a few of our favorites:
