Below is the web page you can refer... it's sickening! Dear Friends,
Initially I was also very furious over this, and had hence set up this website to help to spread this message.
But as to whether this site on Bonsai Kittens is real or false (even I am not
sure), please reconsider the claims made by the creator of the website.
Someone by the name of Beatrix from California had mentioned this website
with the URL:
" Here's some info on Bonsai Kitten:
http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/outrage/bonsai.htm "
If there are any other injustices out there, be sure to inform me to put up
at my website *wink*
Thanks for your attention.
Patricia, Singapore
P.S. If you do consider their argument, please forward BACK to your friends
and share with them. At least this is more fair to the creators IF they are
really innocent. Thanks~!

Further more, they even attempted to promote Bonsai Kitten to children--the innocent children!!! Although the activity itself is innocent, I am definitely against the idea of promoting them to innocent children.
To counter the complaints the compassionate has lodged against them, these money-minded, heartless businessmen gave a counterargument which is strongly against rearing and in contact of cats. My counterargument to theirs is: Even if they are that infectious and dangerous, you should not do such cruel acts to them!! Why should they do that? If cats are the biologically dangerous, DON'T EVEN CONSIDER KEEPING THEM !
Recent research, reported in The Scotsman, shows that the keeping of unmodified cats puts people at risk of a host of debilitating mental disorders:
US scientists have found evidence that cats really do drive people mad.
Researchers from Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University say their findings show keeping a furry pet can lead to schizophrenia, manic depression and even permanent brain damage.
Dr Robert Yolken and his colleague, Dr Fuller Torrey, who have conducted years of tests, believe a parasite found in cat faeces called toxoplasma gondii infects the human brain.
Worryingly, pregnant women who contract the parasite, can transmit it to the foetus, with devastating effects on brain development.
No doubt this explains the crank e-mail we sometimes receive!
The integral waste management systems of Bonsai Kittens, of course, prevent their owners from ever having to come into direct contact with the cats' feces, thus protecting them from harm. Your mental health is one of the most precious gifts you have (Aren't the life of these kittens as precious?)-- don't you owe it to yourself and your family to make the switch to a Bonsai Kitten today? As a public service in response to this newly-discovered health risk, for a limited time we will be offering free disposal of your dangerous old cat with each purchase of a Bonsai Kitten -- please contact us for drop-off details."
Hence, my dear kind and concerned friends, I hope by now you would have understood the situation of these poor kittens. I have shared my views on this cruel act and hope you are inspired to express and voice out your objection against such acts. Below are some suggested acts to aid in saving these kittens:
