Back in August<\/a>, I blogged about Thanko’s Catgirl Earphones, which were shaped like cat ears. And today, the notorious Tokyo-based USB gadget maker started selling the so-called Hot Cat Gloves<\/a> [JP]. A big day for the Cosplay<\/a> crowd, especially those with a penchant for dressing up as a catgirl<\/a>.<\/p>\n These things may appear totally silly, but Thanko says that the Catgirl Earphones from the summer are still their No. 1 selling item. And the company has to make money to keep their three (!) brick-and-mortar stores in Tokyo going somehow.<\/p>\n The Hot Cat Gloves can keep your fingers warm if you connect them to your computer’s USB port (they have a built-in heater). They weigh 145g.<\/p>\n Thanko sells the gloves for $35. Since the English store closed down earlier this year, you might want to contact import\/export specialists Japan Trend Shop<\/a>, Geek Stuff 4 U<\/a> or Rinkya<\/a> if you feel like buying something silly today.<\/p>\n![\"thanko_cat_gloves_2\"](\"http:\/\/www.stoth.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-o-matic\/cache\/664c9_thanko_cat_gloves_21.png\")
