This is so terrible. A site that we were able to shut last year has
returned We have to try to shut it down again! (www.bonsaikitten.com)
A Japanese man in New York breeds and sells kittens that are called
BONSAI CATS. That would sound cute, if it weren't kittens that were
put into little bottles after being given a muscle relaxant and then
locked up for the rest of their lives!! The cats are fed through a
straw and
have a small tube for their faces. The skeleton of the cat will take on
the form of the bottle as the kitten grows. The cats never get the
opportunity to move. They are used as original and exclusive
souvenirs. These are the latest trends in New York, China, Indonesia
and New
Zealand. If you think you can handle it, go to this site
www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look
at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles.

A false urban legend, not a shred of truth in this.
Anyone can go to www.snopes.com and read the
history of this urban legend.

From http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp
Origins: Bonsai kittens are not real. Nobody is making bonsai kittens. Nobody is selling
equipment to help people make bonsai kittens. Nobody is instructing people in the "lost
Eastern art of sealing kittens inside rectilinear jars."
The Bonsai Kitten web site is a joke, not an actual promotion for the making of bonsai
kittens. Investigations by law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, have already
determined no real cats were harmed in the creation of the pictures used on the Bonsai
Kitten web site. Signing a petition to shut down the Bonsai Kitten web site will not
prevent any kittens from being harmed, because no kittens were harmed in the first place.
It was all a joke, one which some say was in terribly poor taste. If that was your
reaction, take comfort in the knowledge that many others thought the same.
How could you have known the Bonsai Kitten site was a satire despite its lack of "This is
a joke!" banners emblazoned across it? Satire doesn't always announce itself as such (some
feel that would ruin its humor), so in cases like this, one dusts off the common sense and
aims it at the problem:
The process described is impossible: animals so treated would die long before they could
be "molded."
The web site offers no way to purchase the materials advertised. A real commercial
enterprise wouldn't build consumer interest through a flashy web site then fail to offer
anything for sale. (The site does include a page of "Helpful Tools & Supplies" but
provides no form through which they can be ordered.)
The "Bonsai Kitten" site displays no actual pictures of the finished product. There are
plenty of pictures of kittens in jars which can comfortably accommodate them (cats are
quite elastic and can fit into very small spaces without discomfort), but there are no
photographs of molded kittens on display.
The cruel.com web site offers an article entitled "Happiness is a Rectilinear Kitten,"
their comprehensive history of the furor and media coverage generated by the Bonsai Kitten
web site throughout its first year of existence.

What is so terrible is that there are so many idiots like you who actually
believe it. I bet you still check under your bed for the f*cking boogieman
each night don't you? What a moron.
