We came across this picture while researching the item about Paris Hilton’s mini cat and it’s too cute not to post. Could any kitten possibly be that small? After looking at all those pictures of Lindsay and Nicole and Britney, it’s nice to clear your palate by glancing at a sweet picture like this once in awhile. Let’s hope Paris doesn’t get her hands on it.

We can appreciate that Paris Hilton loves animals but we think she’s way off base with her mini-cat. We hear she’s got a cat that was bred to be a tiny dwarf and like most dwarves it has short bowed legs. We think breeding animals to be dwarfs or midgets is unethical and they usually have numerous health problems because of it. They’re cute, but not healthy or able to function like a regular cat. For example these short legged cats can’t jump like normal felines and might break bones because their legs aren’t long enough to absorb the shock. Plus they have internal problems. But as long as wealthy people like Paris buy these pets, they will be produced by unscrupulous breeders. Paris should think about adopting her cats at a shelter.
