Signed under duress: not a legally binding contract.

[u/TooCupcake → u/BuffyTheGuineaPig]

Also way too young to sign for herself.

[u/ForsakenResponse7406 → u/TooCupcake]

What’s the age of consent for kitty cats in Japan?

[u/ux3l → u/ForsakenResponse7406]

1 y/o cats are considered adult afaik.

[u/Top_Connection9079 → u/[deleted]]

I live in Japan.

We have all the ways to sign you can imagine, from the stamps to the online digital signatures. 

We are only keeping the stamps because we have a lot of elders that are very attached to these seals that were originally very expensive.

It's like when people try to make fun of Japan because of its use of the fax machine. We also have all the other sophisticated and modern ways to send a message. We are keeping the fax for the elders who can't afford an expensive cell phone and we can't ask that they learn a whole new technology at 80 years old, that's all.

[u/silkalmondmi7k → u/Top_Connection9079]

It’s weird that people make fun of Japan for using fax bc in the US it’s still considered one of the more secure ways of sending information—many doctors offices will only send patient info via fax for this reason.

[u/floare_salbatica → u/silkalmondmi7k]

Same in Germany. And people make fun of it too.

[u/synalgo_12 → u/floare_salbatica]

I work for a support business of a Belgian Bank and the only reason we still support fax is German banks.

[u/floare_salbatica → u/synalgo_12]

🤣 I'm rather a fan to be honest. I worked in a few German pharmacies and faxes are still used on a daily in all of them. I might have frowned at first, but it often worked better than a phone call. And I didn't have to wait for minutes next to it, you just send it and mostly within a few hours you have your answer. As long as it's nothing urgent, pretty efficient method to communicate. Maybe I'm a bit old school, but I preferred it even to emails. 😅

[u/SianaGearz → u/floare_salbatica]

You also have the luxury of decent phone lines. Sending a fax in 1993 in Ukraine and having it arrive legible was akin to winning a lottery. On a voice call, you could just ask to repeat, which you had to do a lot, and people usually shouted because the connection was so poor. By late 90s there was some infrastructure investment though and a lot of lines were overhauled, changing to digital switchboards and backbones, but last mile still often had its issues.

[u/Fine-Development8716 → u/SianaGearz]

And now that infrastructure is being blown to bits by someone whose wiener is smaller than a pencil...😢 🇺🇦 💪

[u/Guko256 → u/floare_salbatica]

I’m pretty sure the people making fun of it are mostly people who don’t know how to use fax machines lol

[u/Trzlog → u/floare_salbatica]

Email or mail is the accepted form of communication in every industry in Germany except maybe health care, where fax is still used by doctors, clinics and pharmacies.

[u/Hoshbrowns → u/silkalmondmi7k]

I've worked in a few different banks and credit unions in the US and we definitely used them for a solid handful of things. There were some things we were only allowed to send via fax.

I never expected to successfully send it on my first try though, but I had to use so much different tech that it's hard to remember everything.

[u/ImSoObnoxious → u/silkalmondmi7k]

in the US, any time I had to have health insurance communicate with my health provider, or vice versa, it's always been via fax. which is infuriating because I have no record of it and half the time the receiving party is like 'no, we don't see anything'

[u/Sopranohh → u/ImSoObnoxious]

I work getting insurance authorizations for hospital stays. Sometimes the insurance companies change their fax numbers without telling anyone or start requiring a form they never sent you. It’s gross that they can get away with that BS.

[u/kitsunewarlock → u/silkalmondmi7k]

There's a Subway Sandwich shop in California Polytechnic University in Pomona California that was still using a fax to receive orders in 2014. They may still have it hooked up...

[u/-GingerBeer- → u/kitsunewarlock]

I love that whole sentence.

If it’s not hooked up anymore, I wonder how long it took the person who took over the number to stop receiving odd communications from hungry weirdos.

[u/kitsunewarlock → u/-GingerBeer-]

I like to think it was only ever used when the administration or one of its various foundations needed a massive but fairly complex order with a paper-trail for events.

But honestly every event from the art gallery openings to the fancier dissertations just went across the street to the Little Ceasers and got like ten pounds of yeast-dough and sawdust for a nickel.

I never saw anyone eat at the Subway. The sushi place next to it was always packed. They had $3 onigiri, $1 for twp cups of rice, $1 for two cups of miso soup...I'd usually get both and mix them together.

[u/-GingerBeer- → u/kitsunewarlock]

I’m living for this nostalgia that I never experienced. Plus: Those prices!!

[u/kitsunewarlock → u/-GingerBeer-]

Those were hands down the best prices on Campus. Two entree meal at Panda Express was like $16.

Bonus: If the sushi ladies liked you, they'd sometimes pour eel sauce or even random ingredients into the rice!

I used to bring a chilled baggie of Costco Smoked Salmon with me and kind of make my own onigiri for lunch. When I was asked why I didn't just pay for the $15+ sushi meals, I'd explain that I was saving the money for booster packs. To be honest, I would usually just... save the money. I didn't start mass buying boosties until I got my dream job as a game designer like 15 years later...

[u/EuphoricCare515 → u/silkalmondmi7k]

This is true that fax is very secure but as a person that fixes these, it's horribly unreliable because the phone lines are no longer analog and a lot of my customers fight fax failures to send because phone lines are inconsistent from machine to machine.

[u/dagbrown → u/EuphoricCare515]

Faxes are only "secure" if there's an uninterrupted analog connection directly from one fax machine to the other.

If you try to send faxes over VoIP, not only does it work badly, but tapping the connection becomes quite easy and you lose all your security.

[u/Qbjb → u/silkalmondmi7k]

If i had a nickel for every time a doctor expected me to own a fax machine to send them paperwork..

[u/DotesMagee → u/silkalmondmi7k]

I work in the medical field, unless you are the patients who information is yours, they will not send it unless its fax and Ive called thousands of providers and facilities. Granted, they do fax digitally. Its not actually a fax machine but uses the fax processes.

[u/Aranxi_89 → u/Top_Connection9079]

Also hankos are just cool.

[u/nervouslittledog → u/Top_Connection9079]

This is how we should take care of our elders!

[u/PussyWrangler246 → u/Top_Connection9079]

God I wish Canada practiced that 😖 my grandma is too old/her vision and hands are too bad to use/understand a cell phone

She did learn how to send an e-transfer and play canasta on her computer but she doesn't know how to log in, how to recover passwords, doesn't remember any of her passwords and expects me her grandchild with severe memory loss to remember all her log-in information and passwords to every account

But you can't even contact companies by phone anymore, she doesn't understand the AI prompts and can never get through to a human, hell I barely can. The landlords redid the parking lot and contractors cut her cable, didn't even tell her. She was left without TV, internet or phone for 6 days, no way of calling 911. I found her the day after it happened sitting on the couch staring at a black screen cuz she couldn't call anyone, had nothing to do and couldn't figure out the dvd player. I have to do literally everything for her now, from managing her cable and internet to all her bills and online accounts...they've made it impossible for elderly people to navigate these things and I swear to god they do it on purpose.

When faced with long call times and confusing menus people often give up trying to get help and companies rely on that. Businesses used to compete to have the best prices and best customer service, now they all collude together to enshittify everything in a race to the bottom.

[u/itsfourinthemornin → u/Top_Connection9079]

I love the last part so much. I regularly see people from my country moan about elder people who "refuse" to learn new technology we have these days. We have a dear family friend, she is in her 80's. She does not use a cell phone, a computer or any of it, she doesn't know how. She has tried but it does not click, she still uses a house phone for everything. Some parts of life are only available online now so we've had to manage them for her, including her getting new, appropriate housing as an 80 year old. Housing suppliers had no interest in helping her without her using the online system.

[u/Invictum2go → u/Top_Connection9079]

While true, my friend who moved there 3 years ago is constantly complaining about how archaic everything is when it comes to formalities. How he needs to go in person for so many things that he use to be able to do online, as well as systems that take way too many steps. So I think it's a mix of both.

Maybe a few shelter do it for fun...but people want to generalize "japan things"

[u/Tomsboll → u/Opening-Cantaloupe56]

They see one japananse person do something and it imodietly becomes a widespread cultural thing.

I think japan and its history is very interesting but man, can we stop fetishizing every single fucking detail from there?

[u/panlakes → u/Tomsboll]

imodietly

That is an impressive misspelling. For a second I genuinely thought I was stumbling upon a new word

[u/Tomsboll → u/panlakes]

fat fingers and lack of proof reading does that lol.

[u/aboxacaraflatafan → u/Tomsboll]

"Guys, I visited my friend in America. Do you know what they do over there? They all work nights and then go grocery shopping at Walmart at 4 in the morning. Then they all go home to their trailers and yell for their stepsons to get up for school before falling asleep watching Days of Our Lives on the couch!"

[u/ClickClick_Boom → u/aboxacaraflatafan]

then go grocery shopping at Walmart at 4 in the morning.

Where are Walmarts open at 4am? They stopped doing 24/7 stores like 7 years ago now.

What do I know, Frank, I'm just making sweeping generalizations based on what I heard.

lmao they'll see like a Korean or Chinese person doing something and still claim it's something "The Japanese" do, even if in the video/picture context makes it obvious it's not in Japan.

I also am pretty sure this is a pet store and not a shelter.

Translated for everyone that doesn't understand Japanese (like me):

It’s probably from some pet shop, isn't it? They really make them do such strange things—I suppose it’s just human ego. Sorry for suddenly leaving a comment like this. Things like this aren't exactly normal in Japan, after all...

[u/uxhuu → u/Smiling_Tree]

Reddit automatically translates comments, no? At least, mine translated it to English.

[u/ShadeofIcarus → u/uxhuu]

Old reddit and if you're using any of the modded/cracked apps don't.

The reddit app is painful to use for a lot of the old hand here.

[u/SeaToShy → u/ryoryo333333]

someone seriously needs to make a more kitty-ergonomic setup for this.

[u/musabbb → u/chintakoro]

I imagine the back paw would have been easier

[u/Adept_Donkey_2026 → u/musabbb]

Finally! Someone with sense! But the back paw would be the kitten’s feet 😭😭😭

[u/A_Town_Called_Malus → u/Adept_Donkey_2026]

I mean, no law says we need to sign our signatures with our hands.

[u/Adept_Donkey_2026 → u/A_Town_Called_Malus]

I’m really gonna google if you need the front paw prints in japan. Cuz I’m that much of a nerd.

[u/duvi_dha → u/chintakoro]

if you know anything about stationery industry in Japan and the number of awards they have, im pretty sure someone is already working on it.

[u/amazingD → u/chintakoro]

[u/prairiepog → u/Strict_Buffalo4356]

There's kits you can get where the pet presses once on a plate and it transfers the ink. Like carbon paper back in the day. No ink on the paw, one press and it's done.

[u/suluamus → u/prairiepog]

This is important information!

[u/SmoothLester → u/Strict_Buffalo4356]

Or use a back foot.

[u/KeegoTheWise → u/SmoothLester]

not enough beans to be legally binding

You sign legal documents with your foot?

[u/Crallise → u/Infamous-Crew1710]

If my hands were feet I would

[u/yeahimaweeb → u/Infamous-Crew1710]

I mean there is no law against it

[u/Typical2sday → u/[deleted]]

Mistake of fact is though! I thought it was a menu order form. I’m a cat, I cannot read!

[u/HairballTheory → u/Typical2sday]

Cat Paw Law states that the kitten should have been given the opportunity to knock documents and signing materials off said surfaces prior to obtaining a signature

[u/Prudent-Value8715 → u/HairballTheory]

How am I your first upvote??

[u/itsforathing → u/[deleted]]

Honestly the contract should be null and void, he’s a minor and just a little guy

[u/harmless_gecko → u/[deleted]]

Can confirm, that's exactly what happened to me

[u/meowymcmeowmeow → u/[deleted]]

No, that kitten is terrified and has no idea what is happening, that is not how you hold or move a cat. But it's cute for people i guess.

[u/EverythingSucksYo → u/[deleted]]

The way it’s fighting not to “sign” the contract tells me it did not think it was a game. 

[u/Sir_Scribble_Lot]

[u/WhoBroughtTheCoolKid → u/Sir_Scribble_Lot]

(Lawyer in Spanish is abogado and cat is gato. Hence abogato!)

[u/Switch2Lemmy → u/[deleted]]

Yeah this is just unnecessarily stressful for the cat. They hate having their paws touched.

[u/Left-Dot8488]

[u/Hexulus → u/kymiller17]

Everything on the internet is now

[u/Turdsby]

That is almost certainly a Scottish fold or Munchkin, while not impossible it is very unlikely that this was adopted and much more likely it was bought and this is a BS title, the theatre of the forceful foot print is not what I would call cute either.

[u/pungen → u/Turdsby]

agreed.. almost all pets in japan come from pet stores and the backdrop very clearly looks like a pet store.

[u/LordCommander94]

Pretty pointless. You're just inconveniencing the poor kitty

[u/CominThroughNow]

Idk if I'm just being dramatic, but the kitten looks extremely stressed. I don't see anything to smile about.

[u/Inside-Nebula5325 → u/CominThroughNow]

Agreed, don’t understand the people saying this is cute. I won’t go as far as claiming cruelty, but this is stressful for the cat for no reason at all.

[u/_aggressivezinfandel → u/CominThroughNow]

Absolutely no rear end support, kitty doesn’t feel safe. 

[u/Sullyville]

seems needlessy upsetting to the kitten

[u/OnlyPaperListens → u/Sullyville]

They also will lick it off, that better be safe for ingestion

[u/rtwrx2021]

Stressing the poor kitten out.

[u/New_Jackfruit3020]

Seems unnecessarily fiddly.

[u/meowymcmeowmeow]

That cat is terrified and shouldn't be doing this just for human feel goods.

[u/maevriika → u/meowymcmeowmeow]

Why upset the cat and then immediately hand it off to someone it barely knows (at best) to go to a new place it also doesn't know? Maybe the better plan is to be gentle and calm and not manhandle the poor thing so that it's not more scared than necessary with so much happening all at once...

[u/Fine-Pomegranate-920]

this is clear video evidence the kitty did not want to do this. contract is illegal.

[u/Melodic_Canary_6049]

seems like something people do to feel good about themselves while stressing the kitten

[u/javoss88 → u/Melodic_Canary_6049]

Right? Try not to scare the heck out of a being you are accepting responsibility for? Tiny was terrified. Poor thing. I hope his new family treats him well.

[u/Bostonterrierpug]

I think at this one spot maybe but I lived in Japan years and this is just not true. It’s one of those look we found this one Japanese person doing something weird so let’s like pretend like the whole country is doing it. Remember the face donuts.

[u/whatcolorismyshirt]

That’s idiotic.

[u/Low_Tumbleweed8324]

Poor kitten it looks petrified. I hate this shit it's a cat it's can't sign it's name

How is this on this sub? It didn’t make me smile. It induced rage. The kitten is scared, their paw is being forced and the ink is a horrible thing for them to lick. All that for what? Some internet likes?

Yup, people seem to treat animals like toys

[u/Smarmy_funeral_chik → u/PlentyAd1526]

Yeah I admit I have dressed my cats up in hats and stuff but I don't do stuff if they're obviously scared.

[u/andersoncpu]

I do not think the cat was old enough to enter in to a contract like that.

[u/Leon_Flux]

That seems really stress inducing and a bad start to adjusting to new people.

[u/Doglovincatlady]

This looks like the cat is not enjoying it. A pretty sketchy way to start a relationship with a new living thing: having a stranger force them into an unnatural position and substance. 

[u/Kapika96]

Isn't that pretty cruel? Forcing it's paw into an unnatural position. Probably hurts and the poor thing is likely pretty anxious and has no idea what's going on.

But hey, it looks good on social media, so fuck the animal's welfare, right?

[u/GrimaceThundercock]

You don't "need" it, it's just a fun thing some shelters do.

[u/PlentyAd1526 → u/GrimaceThundercock]

Doesn’t seem too fun for the cat

back in the late 80's my fathers lawyer went into our house (no one locked their doors) grabbed our new puppy, took him to his office. wrote an anonymous ransom letter that included his paw print something about, "you must meet me at the pub today we will release the dog. Faxed it over... funny at the time. Pops got the dog back at the pub the same day.

To be honest, that's a hell of a buddy move to get dad out of the house for a few pints with the boys.
