At pig cafes in Japan, the animals are surprisingly quiet despite the occasional snort. They don’t like to be alone, so they are great company. The pigs are a miniature breed. They are very clean and don’t smell.

Customers pay 2,200 yen (HK$116) for 30 minutes with the pigs.

But some worry about the animals’ well-being since the cafes might be small, and the pigs should spend time outside.

What might this little piggy be thinking about?
