I think it is real as there was another link showing a kitten with its poor little ears weighed down by prince albert type rings  >:(

The worrying comment was that the kittens and cat will be examined to see if they are suitable for rehoming  :(

My cousin is also a goth who also has cats, he would never get his pierced.

I think that saying 'get his [cats] pierced' is a dangerous way to express it, 925.  'He would never mutilate his cats' would be a better way of putting it, IMHO.

True, was typing quick, should have said he would never dream of inflicting such unnecessary abuse on his furries.

Being classed as "alternative" myself I'm sickened by the thought of people finding this appealing.

Hear hear (although I look rather normal now I've gotten rid of the purple and pink hair  :shy:)

My cousin is also a goth who also has cats, he would never get his pierced.

People like her are why people who are a bit alternative get such a hard time.

wonder what these guys would make of it!!

Aw, Dawn, thank you for posting this.  :) I have always said Hells Angels, although some of them can be horrid, are mostly actually decent and misunderstood folks who have a code of honour to make some people ashamed of themselves.  :briggin: My fail father once had a fall while out shopping and passing Hells Angels put him in their sidecar and took him to A&E - they even waited until I arrived to take over.  :Luv:

As for the kittens, are we sure this isn't urban legend?  :shify: The cruelty involved is insane to the point of being unbelievable, of course, but I can't believe anyone would be daft enough to think a kitten becomes more saleable covered in iron mongery.  :-: Most goths I know are gentle souls and even many are veggie and they would never consider buying mutilated kittens.  >:(

Mind you, I had a gothic pal who had her Furby pierced - paid a fortune for jewelry for it too!  :evillaugh:

I haven't clicked through to read this stuff - I take it that it will be possible to restore the kittens to full health with veterinary intervention?  I certainly hope so.

They should heal up just fine, maybe some scar tissue would remain  >:(

have you read the cooments about double standards at the bottom? 'we tag cows, so why is that ok?' kind thing

Personally I have never seen a cow jumping, climbing, scratching its ear with a hind leg... so very little chance of a tag causing any problems, but I would imagine on an agile creature like a cat or dog they would cause huge problems

Urgh, thats disgusting. I have a lot of mates that people would class as "goths" and they would NEVER go for anything like this! They all love animals as much as me, what a sick thing to do!

100% agree!!  Below, my daughter and her cats ..... :)

I would think piercings will heal on a cat as they would a human. Of course, a cat could easily accidentally rip out an earring or the like. The woman is a moron and I'm glad she got caught.

Being classed as "alternative" myself I'm sickened by the thought of people finding this appealing.

Typical human vanity - seeing the cat as an extension or accessory, rather than a little individual.
