This is what PETA said....
Dear Friend,
Thank you for contacting us about BonsaiKitten.com. We share your
disgust with this disturbing Web site and are extremely concerned about
its influence. We have received word that the FBI has decided to
investigate this web site. This has come as a direct result of calls and
emails that have been flooding their offices. Please let them know that
you are concerned as well. You can file a complaint at the following Web
site: www.ifccfbi.gov
<outbind://1-00000000BD71B64DDD6EC749875DB2DA61E79A370700FFCC06 78B63EF94
0937D4788E868DDF3000000225FEF0000CEA097313455364D9 3A59CF9D7F6E62D0000000
72E940000/www.ifccfbi.gov> . This is a reporting center Web site set up
by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) for Internet fraud and
other forms of Internet crime.
Although we have found this site to be a "joke," we still feel it is
inappropriate and certainly not funny. The Humane Society of the United
States (HSUS) investigated the origin of the site and found that the
name and address under which the site is registered, a "Dr. Michael Wong
in New York," is false information. The site was reportedly created by a
student at M.I.T. as a joke among friends. When this site initially
appeared in December, a local humane organization did get involved on a
local level in checking out this person but discovered no evidence of
actual animal abuse having occurred. We believe that the Web site's
creator was simply trying to generate attention by upsetting people who
care about animals.
So far, it has been an uphill battle, as the only law that even remotely
covers issues like this is a law that covers e-mailed obscenities;
therefore, if the site is not in violation of the host's user agreement,
no law is being violated, and the site can remain up. As you may know,
this site has been closed down several times before but continues to
reappear with different Web addresses. We are hopeful that with enough
complaints filed with the FBI, stressing the influence it may have on
cases of actual cruelty, it will be removed permanently.
While the cruelty depicted on this Web site is a sick joke, the reality
is that billions of animals suffer horrendously cramped conditions in
factory farms. Chickens, calves, and pigs are crammed into cages so
small they cannot turn or stretch. Veal calves ("byproducts" of the milk
industry) are chained in small crates for the duration of their short
lives, chickens are squeezed into cages with no more space than a folded
newspaper, and pregnant and nursing pigs are caged so they can barely
move. For more information about how animals suffer on factory farms, go

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us about this issue and
for all you do to help animals.
Sincerely,
PETA Staff

Okay, sorry I joked about it. I first saw that a couple years ago and found out it was fake. There also used to be a website that sold human meat for consumption and a lot of people thought that was real too.

I like cats, and I thought the website was HILARIOUS. Take a joke, folks. A little photoshop got your panties in a bundle? Come on. MY cat gets here tomorrow. I think I'll put his fat-*** in a jar until he slims down.

LOL
I have always thought that site was funny.
Of course, I would, right?
I'm allergic to cats. I think all cats should be eaten instead of kept as pets. What a worthless animal. I keep little paw print stickers on my car for every one that I hit. Like an old WWII fighter.
I'm just kidding. I love cats. I AM allergic to them. However, I play with them anyway, petting and cuddling... sneezing and itching. Cats are wonderfull pets and most of you are too damn sensitive.
