Over the years, Sanrio has put Hello Kitty on seemingly everything: from beer and melons to airplanes and lingerie. Add a kitty litter box to the mix.
The Kitty toilet has an odor eliminating, antibacterial mat as well as deodorizing antibacterial litter.
The actual toilet looks a little pinker than the promotional art (compare below):
Surely there have been other Hello Kitty cat toilets, no? A cursory internet check doesn't turn up any official Hello Kitty litter boxes, but I'd be very surprised if they didn't exist.
This product certainly makes more sense than other Kitty-branded goods, like Hello Kitty toilet paper and Hello Kitty motor oil. Yes, there was motor oil.
Priced at around 2,800 yen (US$28), the Hello Kitty feline toilet is available for a limited time in Japan.
