Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005Two strange cat things
Well...I was at my cousin's house tonight..her daughter is 12 and had two strange stories... One was about some bizarre Chinese practice of "growing" cats in a bottle so that cat's body conforms to shape of bottle.. The other story was about a "mini cat" that is bred to be small..or they do something surgically to it to create this effect.. Is either story true? Very disturbing stuff... > Well...I was at my cousin's house tonight..her daughter is 12 and had two > strange stories... > > One was about some bizarre Chinese practice of "growing" cats in a bottle > so that cat's body conforms to shape of bottle.. This sounds like the old "bonsai cat" hoax. Google for it. > The other story was about a "mini cat" that is bred to be small..or they do > something surgically to it to create this effect.. > > Is either story true? Very disturbing stuff... As long as there are losers who abuse animals, anything is possible. > Well...I was at my cousin's house tonight..her daughter is 12 and had two > strange stories...

I recently had a man tell me he had one of the "mini cats". According to him they breed them to be small. Don't know if he was BSing me or not but they breed dogs to be tiny, why not cats. > Is either story true?

I don't know about that- sounds like BS to me. > The other story was about a "mini cat" that is bred to be small..or they do > something surgically to it to create this effect.. She might be referring to Munchkins.

Old hoax. Bonzai kitten. > The other story was about a "mini cat" that is bred to be small..or they do > something surgically to it to create this effect.. Yes, this one is true, to a point. A person purposefully breeds f*cked up cats. Calls them Twisty Cats, IIRC. Their legs are all messed up. Pissed me off, that story did. > Is either story true? Very disturbing stuff... Honestly, nothing anyone does surprises me all that much anymore. I am a cynical sort these days.  Signature-- ~kaeli~ What, me, normal? http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace Yes, bonsai kittens are a hoax, and I've been had. ..The site itself is sick - the kittens used are obviously in distress being shoved into a glass jar, just for the purpose of being photographed for the joke. Plus, the guy has a BABY in there too.. Found a hoaxbuster site with more info: http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp and here's info on Munchkin cats: http://munchkin.hypermart.net/ (next I guess they'll be taking photographs of Munchkin cats inside glass jars...) Are the munchkins a hoax, just looked at their site, if it's not a hoax they are very sad, sick people - how's a cat supposed to jump with such short legs., grrr someone please tell me it's a hoax, I'm angry now! It's Friday the 13th, I might have to send Otis round to sort them out (ha ha, oh how he'd love the chance to dominate for the first time in his life) > Are the munchkins a hoax, just looked at their site, if it's not a hoax > they are very sad, sick people - how's a cat supposed to jump with such > short legs., grrr someone please tell me it's a hoax, Unfortunately, no, that one isn't a hoax.

Munchkins can jump just fine. I've seen them jump onto a counter, run around with long-legged cats, and wrestle and play. And, due to the type of dwarfism gene they have (like Corgis, not English Bulldogs) they do not have health problems related to their dwarfism.

Photos of kittens were altered and combined with photos of jars. That's the hoax. Signature-- ~kaeli~ Why do they lock gas station bathrooms?

Oh, yes. The ancient Chinese art of Bonsai cat. It's very fascinating and surprisingly easy. First, choose a container and tell the cat it's too small for him to fit in, and he is absolutely not allowed in the container. Here is the result: http://members.aol.com/sriddles/bonsaifrank.jpg Next, laugh at the cat, and begin to take flash pictures. He will begin to outgrow his container before your very eyes. http://members.aol.com/gladyss5/bonsaifrank2.jpg Finally, when he has outgrown his original container, he must be re-potted. Preferably outdoors, in a flower bed he is absolutely not allowed in. He will particularly thrive if planted near catnip. http://members.aol.com/gladyss5/frankgarden.jpg Sherry sridd...@aol.com wrote: > Finally, when he has outgrown his original container, he must be > re-potted.
