The Adorable History Of Sushi Cats That You Never Even Knew Existed

Sushi is great, but when it's paired with adorable kitties, it's just about 10x better.

These whimsical and funny photos taken for Japanese company Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts not only whet our appetites, but made us crave some delicious sashimi. But where DID this mystical cats come from, you ask?

Luckily, Tange & Nakimushi Peanuts has provided us with their elaborate history (imagined, of course!) in a special video presentation, which you can watch if you scroll down to the end of this post. It's SO worth it.

Thanks to The Huffington Post for providing rough translations of the names of these "cat pieces!"
