One is often apt to see some odd pets here in Japan. Not just the wide variety of little dogs that get taken regularly to massage parlours and hair salons that are dedicated to caring for such pampered pets (see, Leaf 281). I’ve seen videos of people keeping otters in their apartments, feeding them sashimi. And I once saw a man out walking with a meerkat on a lead. But one of the strangest sights I ever saw was back in 2009:
