Can pets really see Pokemon IRL?

The Japanese theory our pets might be able to see Pokemon in real life with a secret super sense.

You don’t need us to tell you that Pokémon Go has pretty much taken over most areas of most people’s lives. Remember the guy who quit his job to catch Pokémon (yes, it is a time consuming habit?).

It turns out that no part of our lives is sacred anymore. Not even our pets. Because according to a bizarre theory circulating in Japan, our pets might be actually able to see the Pokémon, in actual non-augmented reality.

The game was released in Japan last Friday and according to Mashable, since then users have noticed that their pets seem to be looking in the direction of the Pokémon they’re trying to catch, in real life.

Sure it sounds utterly crazy but the photo evidence is actually really convincing…

But the questions remain: How? Why? What is this sorcery? Unfortunately we don’t have any answers for you, but if you could give it a go with your pets at home (we don’t have any, sob) and let us know whether you think they do have some kind of Poké intuition, it would be very much appreciated.
