Just when we think we've seen it all, at least when it comes to pets in costumes, someone tweets adorable photos of guinea pigs cosplaying their favorite anime characters, and the Internet loses its mind.
Or at least it should, because these photos of cosplaying guinea pigs are the cutest things you'll see this week. Even more sweet is that this is a family affair: Kintoki and Chikuwa are Menma's parents.
Families who cosplay together stay together, right?
Twitter user Ayu (@chikuwa_kintoki) recently posted these photos, which are not just cute, but also well photographed, complete with appropriate backdrops and props. She also made the costumes you see in these photos, so Ayu is apparently a person of many talents.
First, how about a little Chun-Li (Streetfighter) cosplay?

Fans of anime series One Piece are sure to recognize Luffy here:

And, of course, what are cosplaying guinea pigs without Mario costumes?

Although Jason from the Friday The 13th movies is scary, the guinea pig dressed as Jason isn’t more cute than terrifying.

The holidays are extra festive when the guinea pigs put on their costumes.

You can keep up with the guinea pigs' costuming antics on Ayu's blog. Although the text is in Japanese, you can still view the kawaii images she posts of her cosplaying pets.
