Want a rectilinear kitten?

Started by Teethgrinder (René Fennema) Administrator in Chit-Chat

I don’t know if I’m the last one on the web to find out about this site, but have you ever heard of a site about Bonsai Kittens?

It’s a site where you supposedly can order a cat which had its body modified after living in a rectangular bottle for a couple of months. It has its ass closed with super glue and is fed through a tube.

As it turns out, this site is a joke from an MIT student, which turned into a hype with both people defending the site and people fighting against it. The FBI started investigating this in February, but I’m not sure what the outcome is.

I’m not yet sure what to think about it (I have three cats myself..), but it’s actually quite funny reading all the reactions that the webmaster got from visitors, and all the things that are written about it.. (try searching ‘bonsai kittens’ in google).

If this is old news for all of you, never mind. Cheers!

RENE!!!! It’s a fake, I’ve seen it also a few days ago… If you look on the site yourself you can see it’s a fake… the even makes jokes about it with the baby… a cat can’t also breath if so the space be full of condens (<- that’s a Dutch word, don’t know the English one).
When I first red it it made me sick, when I took a look at the website you can see it’s a joke!!!
Greetings Iris

Iris, I know it’s a joke.. I wrote ‘As it turns out, this site is a joke from an MIT student’ so I was fully aware of this.

Thanks for pointing it out anyway.. :-)

Yeah, but the really sad part is there are always ‘sick’ people that you might trigger on a ‘sick’ idea. Maybe one sad git is really going to shape a cat like that…oh man!
