Sorry my friend at college today couldn't remember whether he dreamt it or not but his friend told him about a "bonsai kitten", i though surely he was dreaming but NO!

This annoyed me slightly when he just showed me the webiste, it's basically giving a cat drugs to make it's bones go squishy then shoving them into (small) glass Jars i suppose you could call them, feeding them still through tube and stuff but the cat will eventually take the shape of the jar instead of a cat form!!?! (i'm assuming)

Now i don't want to post the link but if you search bonsai kitten i'm sure you'll find the site, i think it's wrong and don't understand anyone who thinks it's right, but i'm interested to see what other ppl think!

:evil:

Bit more searching reveals

Starts

Origins: Bonsai kittens are not real. Nobody is making bonsai kittens. Nobody is selling equipment to help people make bonsai kittens. 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.

"Bonsai Kitten" displays no actual pictures of the finished product -- there are no molded kittens on display.

Ends..........................

Hows the Telford Bridge over the Menai Strait do? Currently linking Anglesey to the Welsh mainland, but never really that busy. Very classic look and your chance to own a bit of transport history.
