Bonsai Kittens
August 13th 2010 07:10
For centuries, people in the West have marveled at the delicate beauty produced by Oriental artists and sculptors.
Bonsai describes the ancient Japanese art of growing miniature trees by rigorous pruning of their roots and branches. Because of their small size, aesthetic appeal, and minimal upkeep requirements, Bonsai trees have long been popular additions to offices and homes.
Enter Bonsai Kittens.
The idea was to seal kittens inside a container. As they grew (fed and watered through a tube), the bones of the cats would supposedly conform to the shape of whatever container held them.
At the end of the process a uniquely shaped 'Bonsai Kitten' would emerge -- sure to be the envy of all.
And yes folks - it is still one of the great internet hoaxes of all time - for now.
