Re: Crazy world we live in


Why O Why would anyone want to do that to their cat, the poor thing it is in my eyes barbaric and makes me so mad , they do not deserve to have such a beautiful animal.
I just hope that it does not catch on (shameful).

Oh my good god - that made me fee physically sick. The angle of the article is obviously designed to play on this and uses quite emotive text, but this is really rather disgusting and in my opinion the tattooist and the cat's owner should both be prosecuted.

Oh. My. GOD!!!

That is horrific. The poor thing. I once read an article on a dog getting a small tattoo on its inner ear, it was really quite tiny. I thought that was bad enough. But that poor thing has one covering it's full chest. That must have been agony and will feel so unnatural to the poor thing. Hairless cats have sensitive enough skin as it is, and tattoos scab and dry out as they heal.

She should be banned from owning animals ever again

That makes me feel physically sick! I have a tattoo, that is my choice, that poor cat had no say int he matter. Who the H*LL anaethetizes (sp) a cat for 3 hours for something as cruel as that!

That is downright cruelty and I agree with Yola.... the tattooist and the cat's owner should both be prosecuted..
