Bonsai Kitten - I've already started mine. Should have a nice cubed tabby in about a month.

I'll say it first - this looks like the work of Joey Skaggs. His best animal work since 'Cathouse for Dogs'?

I had assumed that it was just your basic kitty porn (a few excessively cute photos of a cat who crawled into a jar), but after looking at the comments page, this does look sort of Skaggsish. The phone number and registration are New York; anybody tried calling the phone number and asking for Giuseppe Scagolli or Joe Bones? (I got a busy signal.)

ahhhh. how refreshing. a truthful response to a guestbook entry. Bonsai mice would make great earrings i think.

Is this just a joke, or are these people serious? Either way, it's pretty sick.

I'm putting my kitty in a Klein bottle.

Did someone say Kitty Porn?

When someone proposes something patently impossible with no hint that they understand it's impossible, of course it's a joke.

Unless, of course, they're Republicans.

Now, now. I didn't realize there was anything inherently political about stuffing young, malleable kittens into glass jars.

stuffing young, malleable republicans into glass jars would be political.

Against Bonzai Kitties: "This may be custom in a nother country but it should not be legal here in the states where all living things are free."
