From Echo Moskvy:
A “Rental Cat” service has appeared in Krasnoyarsk
Anyone wanting to take a furry pet home will be able to. The service is inexpensive – 300 roubles [£6, 7.50€], for which the time spent with the animal is not limited and depends on how tired of each other the person and the cat become. As Interfax write, a social organisation for helping homeless animals has organised the rental and refuge for the cats.

What, so the “girls for hire” service has already been closed down?
mara95: (responding to above)
Girls are not as fluffy and cost more. And they’re more of a worry.
mara95: (adding to above)
Cats have one more plus. They know how to be quiet, and not beg for a fur coat. And they can hide under the bed. And the most important is that they can catch mice.
afarov:
Rubbish.
bulka_sdob:
Can I rent a hamster?
sesk:
Made me smile)))
netrex:
Well, kids are already available to rent, they give them to foster families… with the right to return them to the orphanage.
What’s worse about cats?
savraska:
This is a madhouse! How much would you need to torture a cat so that it could be caressed by just anyone!
pol74:
This is just a madhouse! A cat is a living creature, not a “thing for hire”. Rubbish! The country has gone absolutely mad.
boyanna:
Hmm, well how do you insure animals against cat maniacs and catophiles? Who will answer for it if something happens?
