Japan has a pleasant habit of injecting a dose of cuteness into just about everything, and that includes the simple act of sitting down for a nice refreshing drink. One such way is with cutesy cup clinger mascots who hug the side of your glass as you enjoy your beverage--although they aren't always so cute. Kitan Club's latest entry in their animal cup clinger series however, may be their cutest yet, as they are introducing a lineup of adorable Hedgehog buddies that cling to the side of your cup.

The latest in the PUTITTO Series of amusing cup decorations, which has featured pugs, hamsters, and Japanese tree frogs, consists of four different colored hedgehogs (including albino!) in cute poses as they sit perched on the edge of your glass or cup. Now you can quench your thirst as they struggle to get in (or out!) of your drink, or just appreciate the company of a prickly beverage companion with your afternoon tea.

Hey there, buddy!

Some even come with a little tomato snack.

Some look like they are running away.

But not doing a very good job at it.

Again with the tomato.

Don't mind me.

The albino!

'lil help?
