February 22nd is Cat Day in Japan, and home chefs will be able to celebrate by turning their workstations into an adorably feline-infested space. Making its launch on the 22nd will be a collection of cat kitchen tools from Kai that will compel you to replace all your little gadgets quicker than a cat can rip up a box of tissues.

The collection is fittingly called Nyammy, a portmanteau of the words “nyan” (the Japanese equivalent of “meow”) and “yummy.” It includes a total of six kitchen tools including kitchen knives and vegetable peelers that are a combination of cute and practical. Sold individually, you can just get the ones you frequently use or buy them all to maximize the presence of kitties in your kitchen.
