What is it about the animals in Japan being way more awesome than our own? Brad suggested that it had to do with their lack of Peta, and while I'm inclined to agree, there really has to be more to it. In this video, we have a cat who desperately wants to fit into a box. The irony being that it's a bit too fat to fit into the box of choice, which is clearly labeled "diet."
Watch as it manages to squeeze into its cardboard armor, in what could be the cutest thing you'll see all day. Sure it's no dog doing squats, but I know you'll love it just as much as I did.

I promise you it's not because they don't have PETA, because they have their own branch over there as well. haha. I believe it's because cats are treated as a part of the family in Japan, and have a more enjoyful life than American cats who are treated(for the most part) as an independent pet, american cats learn to be more independent this way.
