This is the bizarre moment a young furry girl on a leash was led into a Moscow bar before she started meowing at other bewildered customers.
The Moscow resident, wearing a cat mask and pawed gloves, was led to the hookah bar by her mother, according to Telegram channel Moscow 125.
Discomfiting footage captured the incident, in which the young woman was seen on all fours in the establishment jumping towards customers walking past her.
Appearing to imitate an excitable kitten, the woman could be seen crawling around her mother, who held her leash while sitting at a table.
While the mother smoked shisha from a long pipe, her daughter began groping a passing waiter and meowed at him, leaving him looking at the woman in complete shock.

The woman was seen wearing a cat mask and pawed gloves while meowing at staff and customers passing by.
She was also seen extending her hands to pet and scratch other people.
He approached the mother with a card reader before the furry youngster, known as a quadrober in Russia, began pretending to scratch his legs, but the staff member ignored his actions.

It comes as Uzbek politicians threaten to clamp down on Furries following a wave of vicious attacks carried out by teenagers who act and dress like cats and dogs.
Local police are currently searching for a teenager who allegedly bit a passerby while dressed as a dog earlier this week.
Uzbekistan’s Home Office is considering fining parents of furries the equivalent of £112 amid the crackdown.
“Experts believe that “quadrobics” can cause the child to adopt aggressive animal-like actions, harming himself and others, and can cause damage to the child’s not yet fully formed psyche, as well as his isolation from society,” points out said the ministry.
The Furry fandom began in the 1980s, and since then its members have been driven by a love of anthropomorphic animals, such as those in Disney movies and video games.
