Cats are wonderful. They are soft, loving and independent. They are also really funny at times, which is why in many parts of the world they are popular pets.

In Japan, cats are some of the most loved pets. Very few people in Japan can have a cat in their house because they homes in Japan are very small or do not allow pets.

So what do the Japanese do to see cats? Well, they go to a cat cafe, of course! These cafes are very popular in Japan and there, cafe goers can enjoy the company of a cat while having a coffee or tea. Cafe cats are trained to be friendly and well-behaved, plus each one has a little card that tells its history and how it came to the cat cafe.

In these cafes customers can play with the cats, pet them, or just watch them. Either way, it is a great place for kitty lovers, that is for sure.

The cat cafe has been such a success that other cafes have opened up too. A dog cafe, a bunny cafe, and even a beetle cafe!

Spicy Wasabi Alarm Clock!

SPICY WASABI ALARM CLOCK

When it is time to get up ion the morning, many times, the alarm clock doesn’t work well.

You may ignore your alarm clock if the bell or music that it uses to wake you up is always the same. Then you are late to school!

People have tried all sorts of alarm clocks, from jumping puppy alarm clocks to puzzle alarms…but nothing compares to the Wasabi alarm! Do you know what wasabi is? It is a VERY spicy Japanese paste that is used in many dishes in Japan. 

The Wasabi alarm clock takes advantage of this spicy sauce to wake up the laziest people around. It works by blowing dry powder wasabi into  the sleeping person’s nose. This wakes a person up with the sensation of burning, and incredible desire to drink some water and get rid of the sting. A simple and perhaps painful way to get up in the morning!

Known as “Japanese horseradish”, its root is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor. Its hotness is more akin to that of a hot mustard rather than the capsaicin in a chili pepper, producing vapors that stimulate the nasal passages more than the tongue.

Wasabi is often served with sushi or sashimi, usually accompanied with soy sauce.


Funny Animals!

Sometimes pets can be so funny that we just have to capture the moment on film.

What do you think about this puppy? He sleeps anywhere! Whether with his puppy brothers on top of a plastic bottle, this little guy has no problem finding a pillow. 

There are some animals that don’t like having their photo taken. Just ask this kitten hidden behind this plant. It has a frightened look on its face don’t you think?

Some people try to bring attention to their pets by dressing them up and giving them weird haircuts. Just look at this poodle with a geometric hair style. 

Last but not least, squirrels, which always look cute. They are usually pretty easy to take photos of.
