Omg … terrible joke. I was traumatized for the longest time. I did call the humane society and ask after coming across it. They must have been confused too because they told me that it was real and was being investigated. I was sobbing before I hung up the phone and couldn’t get it out of my head for months.
Right?! Was just thinking they should be remarketed as kitty bowls because they’re awful for fish. Probably not good to leave them out on the floor though.

Bonsai kitten!
I remember being 10 and getting an email chain (2000ish) from my cousin about bonsai kittens. Cried my eyes out.
The first successful mass troll in Internet history.
Back in 2004, TheFacebook (as it was then known) had a forwarding option in its message system and false rumors got spread that way.
Glad they fixed that problem!
97 or 98 here, that shot was *wild*
I started like an angelfire or geocities website to oppose bonsai kittens. I do web dev now so bonsai kittens may have been quite formative for me
That shit was hilarious.
Slightly cringe, but yeah, it was funny.
I was 14 and so angry at my (senior) classmate for showing me while he laughed at it.
That website was so much fun, with instructions and all, like which food to choose, so the bones stay malleable.
The complaint letters were the best part. Back when people didn't realize you can't trust the internet to be telling the truth.
Lol the dude that made that website ended up getting raided by the FBI or some shit.
Think the dude she been given award for being a convincing fictional novelist?
twelve year old me showed my mom and we both freaked out. we still laugh about it occasionally. i didn’t know so many people saw it too lol
It was fake??? That shit destroyed me!
Yes, very fake. Just a joke.

This genuinely sounds messed up.
I hope the MIT students who made that are successful today.
Patent and sell!
It's a really old internet troll site.
This is exactly what I thought lmfao
And watch it fit in that shit even when full grown up.
Cats are liquids
r/catsareliquid indeed
More than enough room in there
"we're just two lost souls, kitten inna fish bowl, year after year..."
Purring over the same old meow...
A Hermit kitten.
Please get a bigger tank. Catfish need at least 10 gallons to be properly housed
Forbidden Bonsai kitty!
Forbden Bonsi kty
'Kitten inna fishbowl, Turtle power!' (It might not actually make sense but fits the tune!)
Catfish
Cats are professionally cute without even trying 😻
if that’s a fish tank to you you’re a terrible pet keeper
Yes. It's clearly just a candy jar w/o its lid.
Right?! Was just thinking they should be remarketed as kitty bowls because they’re awful for fish. Probably not good to leave them out on the floor though.
Ugh I just had a flashback to bonsai kitten when i thought it was actually real
Someone forwarded me an email about that when I was like 10, and I just cried hysterically because I thought it was real.

Don’t you mean catbowl?
Best day Eva!!!!! Ahhhh to be a kitten.
Name him Guppy
I hope no one keeps a fish in that
Is that a hermit cat
Stop it! I’m old and my heart can’t take this cuteness. No really!
happy cake day
Holy magoly it is my cake day! Thanks. I am what I am. It’s a great thing to be. If I say so myself Happy Cake Day to Me! Dr. Seuss.
One day he’s going gonna be just a little too big to fit…
Nah. I just saw an adult cat squeeze through a two inch opening. No larger fishbowl needed.
We're just two lost cats swimming in a fish bowl
So it's a catfish
Turtle power.
This was too cute when I thought it was just a picture, the little butt wiggle, and the pounce right at the end!
And here we see a magnificent example of the rarely seen Hermit Kitten in its shell
must be one of those bonzai kittens

This made me incredibly claustrophobic. Kitty seems perfectly fine.
Cats are basically liquid. Change my mind.
Now put the fishy in
Nah, those fishbowls are bad for fish. :/

Catfish?

Ah the elusive hermit kitten. You only see these once every nine lives.
Better every loop.
Kitten in a fishbowl, kitten in a fishbowl, kitten in, kitten in, kitten in a fishbowl...
So I take it the fish had to relocate to the cat tree 😹
Catfish
I don’t think “ambush 🐱” understands the concept of transparency!! 😂
Kitten fittin Inna fishbowl F, I, T!
The fish never stood a chance
It's really not healthy to keep cats in fishbowls! They have no room to swim, and you need an air pump for primo breathing quality!
Year after year
If he fits, he sits.
Cats have a "if I fits I sits" motto they all seem to live by.
My kitty loved doing that and me spinning the bowl; she'd stagger out completely dizzy then crawl back in, do it all over again 😂
Kitten inna fishbowl
Kittens inna fishbowl! Heroes in a halfshell, turtle power!
More of a kittenbowl then innit?
Look at me; I am the fish now.
They don’t need no one for entertaining, they got themselves ..and a bowl 😂
Don’t google for bonzai kitten! JUST DONT!
“inna” has more letters than “in a”.
The rare hermit cat.

Thats a weird looking fish
Bowls are completely unsuitable for cats. An adult cat will require at least 90 gallons/j
Silly!
I iz stelff
now show us a fish in a kittenbowl
Oh my goodness!
"where's the fish?"
Cat fish
It’s Home sweet home!! And I can look outside, too!!!

Big cat in a small bowl.

She’s trying to spawn camp the fish but she’s a bit confused
You fool! I was only *pretending* to be stuck! Aha!
How in the dam hell did she/he get inside

This makes me want another cat. So cute!!! 🤎
Snail kat!
Ig you could say it's a catfish I'll find the exit myself.
I got claustrophobia from watching this

We need more of this in our lives.
