...bonsai kitten...

There is no such thing as a bonsai kitten. If you ever get an email or anything that is anything like this:

"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 in to 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, view www.bonsaikitten.com and have a look at the methods being used to put these little kittens into bottles."

disregard it! www.bonsaikittens.com is a website created as a hack by some MIT students. it is not a real industry. if you read the website carefully it is immediately obvious. a lot of people are getting worked up for nothing! and if you know it's a hack, the website is actually hysterically funny. at least for a sick and twisted individual like myself.
