Japanese cat coercion?

The relatively recent Japanese practice of overly pampering pets with the likes of fancy food and finery is pretty much par for the course these days, but whether the trend will also come to include the carrying of cats is currently open to question.

However, considering the ferocious looking nature of the feline in the photo, in this case at least, such indulgence may well have been due to the owner being forced, rather than something he actually felt like doing.

    😀 I love that. And having two cats myself, it is likely very very true!
