There is one question about Japan that even the Japanese cannot answer: What has happened to all the cats' tails? I have never seen a kitten without a tail, but adult stray cats in Japan seldom have tails. Although many Japanese have offered theories, no one seems to really know the answer.
One Japanese offered the following theory: "Very dangerous life for cat in Japan. Tail get caught in car door."
Hmm. Since when do cats drive?
