The March of Cuteness just keeps coming. Remember Tama, the stationmaster cat I’ve posted about a couple times? Well, there are more of them. Yes people, in Japan even animals can become stationmasters.

Here’s Maron, the droolingly adorable stationmaster of Okunakayama-Kougan station.

And here’s Bus, who’s employed at Aizu Ashinomaki Onsen station.

Notice how the cat doesn’t wear the whole outfit, but the dog does? Yeah, cats are too smart for that bullshit.

I swear I’ll get back to real stories soon, just as soon as Japan stops being so freaking adorable.

My Dirty, Dirty Secret

Despite my tough image, despite the way I swear like a sailor and love gruesome movies and read everything Garth Ennis ever wrote, I secretly love baby animals.

And no one does baby animals like the Japanese. It’s like they have a fucking Cutetics Lab buried in a hill on one of those tiny islands off the coast of Honshu. And this is one of their hideously cute products!

Watch the Cute!

The only things that seems weird is that Mama Sue sounds like a yakuza boss. Ah well, I wouldn’t mind having a Yakuza boss for a mom. Boss of the Cutekuza.

Station Cat Promoted to Knight!

Some time ago I posted about Tama, a cat in Japan who has been granted the title of station master at a small train station. Well, Tama recently got promoted- to SIR TAMA!

Sir Tama!

While the article refers to Tama as a ‘he’, I have to wonder if someone didn’t do their kitty-sexing homework…since calicos are invariably female. I should know, I have one and it is most definitely female (she changes her mind constantly and eats chocolate and buys shoes all day long) . So maybe that makes Tama DAME TAMA instead?

By the way, if anyone can get me some of those Tama stickers I will be your slave forever.

Ninja Cat..Ninja Cat…

What can I say? I like ninjas. I like cats. I have nightmares about waking up to see this cat stalking me in my bed.

Nighty-night…Hoo-man.
