I insert them in cubic transparent plastic boxes provided with feeding tubes and valves to collect excreta. However, I am having the following problems: 1) The cats often die after a few weeks, in one case even days. 2) Those cats which do survive do not acquire a good cubic shape, except when put in the same position which they used to have inside the box. I have tried to contact the authors of the website by email but received no answer, and since no photographs of grown bonsai cats appear anywhere on the site, I am beginning to suspect it may be a fraud (however, I never bought any products from them). Anyone had similar experiences?

They are being called "bonsai" kittens and have become the rage in New York, China, Indonesia, and New Zealand. The email refers you to the website at www.bonsaikitten.com bullet The Truth The bonsai kitten website is a hoax, created as a joke by some students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. There are numerous published reports about the site, but one of the best is a article in USA Today from 2-20-2001by Janet Kornblum. According to Kornblum, the site was set up shortly after Christmas, 2000, satirize ''the human belief of nature as commodity." Kornblum interviewed one of the creaters who used an alias, "Dr. Michael Wong Chang." He said one of the main aims was to "punish the hypocritical and easily offended by upsetting them, and to amuse those who understand." The result has been an international outcry by animal rights groups who say that even if the site is a joke, they object to the fact that it displays and could provoke animal cruelty. In response to concerns from Internet readers, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals investigated the site and found no evidence of animal abuse. No kittens have actually been put through the torture described on the site. An FBI investigation was also opened.
