Online fun with animals that's not pornographic but still creepy

Some folks claim to be animal psychics—meaning they can communicate with the animal kingdom telepathically. I'm not an animal psychic. However, I am sensitive to my cat's needs. For example, I was checking my stock portfolio last Saturday afternoon when my cat leapt onto my laptop and fixed me with a big green gaze. I instantly knew that he wanted something—and his melancholy stare screamed, "Please buy me a hat."

"OK, Rafael, my little Tootsie Roll," I replied. "Since you've been so good today I'll go get you that hat."

But where can one find an appropriate hat for a good kitty? Japan. But if you can't spring for the transpacific flight you can contact Japan online at www.petoffice.co.jp/catprin/english/, where expert tailors are on duty to fulfill your cat's dress-up needs.

If the dancing cat graphics aren't enough to tickle your sides, check out the poorly translated English, which encourages you to "Take off her clothes and give her a hub, say 'Thank you!'"

It may have cost 3,800 yen, but my little Rafael is worth it.
