Japanese Bunny Cafés…(no, not THAT kind.)

BBC posted a video reporting on a new trend for combating stress in Japan: Bunny cafés.
They’re not the Playboy-themed maid cafés that you might assume; these cafés have actual bunnies. The idea is that when you need to relax, you enter one of these cafés to indulge the cute, soothing effects of interacting with bunnies. There’s some science to that, since owning pets has often been suggested to improve a person’s health and stress levels. (Unless they’re a pain in the ass, like in my house.)
If you’re looking for a nibble, the café serves a selection of bunny-shaped dishes. The establishment also welcomes people to bring their own pet bunnies so that they too can spend time with fellow long-eared friends.
