This is the pet for you if you want to get a head.
Teenagers in China are taking leashed cabbages on "walks" as a means to cope with loneliness and depression, according to the Metro.
"I feel I can transfer my negative thoughts about myself to the cabbage, go for a walk with it and come home feeling better about myself," 17-year-old Lui Ja Chen, who explained, according to the Austrian Times.
Another 17-year-old, Da-Xia Sung, said "I have more interest for my cabbage than I do my parents. I feel it understands me."
Psychiatrist Wen Chao, 56, believes this cabbage therapy can be helpful, but warns that cabbage confidantes should not replace actual human contact.
"At the end of the day someone real to talk to is much healthier," Chao said.
Fresh cabbages can last for one to two weeks in the refrigerator. Although it's unclear how routinely taking a cabbage out and dragging it around the sidewalk can affect spoilage, it'll probably render the vegetable inedible pretty quickly.
