These Pizza Hut cats want to serve and entertain you

Pizza and cute cats are both good things, so why not merge the two? Pizza Hut Japan did just that. Not in a pizza, mind you, but in a delightfully charming and weird Web series called "Pizza Cat."

The show centers around the cats, decked out in red caps and jaunty scarves, who work at a special Pizza Hut restaurant. Their names are Tencho, Hime, Dora, and Detch.

In the episode "It's time for work, y'all," we see the cat boss push a giant red alarm button with his paw to wake up the lazy feline employees asleep on the job, to no avail.

In another episode entitled "Dressed to kill for the day!" all the cat employees are suited up with their tiny red caps and scarves except for one haphazard tabby who could use some help getting dressed.

In "Morning assembly! Fire us up!" the cat employees look barely awake for the early morning meeting. Clearly, some of us can relate.

In "Shut up, paws off the phone! They're all for me!" Hime the cat answers the phone by sitting on it. So much for customer service.

If you think it's sad cats can't answer the phone at Pizza Hut, you should see one try to operate a laptop computer in the episode "Spreadsheet Demon."
