wtf moments: cat-on-a-string

Cat-on-a-string. It’s exactly as it sounds. Cat-on-a-string. Head on down to Ueno park and check out the homeless people. Go ahead, they won’t hurt you. Maybe you will find cat-on-a-string ™. Not much more to say I guess. A couple of the homeless people have captured their own feline friends and keep them close by attaching them to a piece of string which is tied to their cardboard box. Bizarre. If they can afford to feed a cat everyday then surely that money could be better spent on one more hot meal for themselves. Or maybe I’m missing the point. Maybe if times are desperate, the cat is the last resort. Honestly though it seems like an attention getting device. You may have also seen some other variations, such as the legendary man-with-a-squirrel-on-a-piece-of-rope. He can be found wandering around Yoyogi Park on a Sunday. Just in case the idea catches on as a new fad I have already patented rabbit-on-a-tightrope and fish-on-a-ruler. Keep an eye out for them in shops this Christmas.



Something like this. Only much, much more horrific.
