InterPET Cafe!
Just seen a piece on UK Breakfast TV about a new phenomenon in
Japan - the InterPET Cafe! For about eight GB Pounds, customers can "rent-a-cat" (or dog, or a beetle!) for an hour. It's aimed at busy workers who don't have the time or resources to look after a pet of their own full-time. -- MatSav

I think this http://tinyurl.com/9ee75n might be what you saw (I goggled to see what came up). Sounds interesting, but wonder if there aren't shelters where people couldn't get their 'pet' fix by volunteering instead. -- Steve Touchstone Little Bit, Sammy, Spotty, Princess, Furby and Rocky (RB) Pix at http://tinyurl.com/22pfn8 Vids at http://tinyurl.com/4yb6nj
