My nightmares have come true: Hello Kitty is real.

A Japanese pet apparel company is selling a special edition costume that they guarantee will make your cat look like the spitting image of Hello Kitty. The official Sanrio-approved costume includes a hat and “blouse,” and it only costs 18,900 yen (160 US dollars). Is it worth it?

Who-Sucks.com has conducted a study on the value of this costume and we are now prepared to share it with the general public so that we can conduct a poll on what you think of it!

________________________________________

This is the set. As you can see, it suffers from no shortage of official Hello Kitty logos. The little pink thing to the left of the hat is the Hello Kitty blouse:

Here are some pictures of cats wearing the costume:

And an informative video created to show how one dresses cats in the costume:

Is it really good? Let’s take a look at what these cats think:

________________________________________

The terror is quite clear in the eyes of this poor cat. Help! My master is going to put that ridiculous thing on my head!!!!

________________________________________

Oh, the shame.

________________________________________

But, but, I’m not even the right color!!!

This cat looks like he wants to commit seppuku.

Stop!!! I’m a dog!!

And finally, our poll:

  55. It’s adorable, you can tell that cat is loving the outfit, she’s the most happy cat in the world!

  56. Can i suggest you add ‘Cruel’ to your poll :P

  57. Oh my god. I need this. Those cats don’t look tortured, they seem comfortable. Trust me, if you put a cat in something it doesn’t want to be wearing, even a standard cat collar, they would take it off instantly. If they don’t, it doesn’t bother them. Cute but too expensive. The ebay search ensues.

  58. That was perfect,
    Now Let’s leave them to wear their dress of their own.
    And lets make a dressing table for them,
    I think, They look really cute,

  59. never let me put that on her.They look really cute,
