It must be one of those Bonzai Kitties.
I think I'll order one.

I think most of us consider it a use of Photoshop.

Especially if one has the brains to Google the apparently about
semi-annual mentions of this particular hoax [I can think back to
hearing about this at least two *years* ago, *without* help from
Google], or to consult the Urban Legends Reference Pages [see
http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/outrage/bonsai.htm for particulars on
this specific joke], or to check any of the other fairly numerous hoax
sites around *before* going into hysterics.

It's a glass, not a jar, and it looks like a damn fine example of
Photoshopping to me.
