We do not condone torturing animals -- except when it's cute torture -- like this Japanese cat-calendar shoot. The cat featured on this cat calendar was forced to wear a dozen different adorable cat outfits -- one for each month. This cat clearly wants to die.

really? thats not abuse. its dressing up a cat. fo holidays.
i do it too, sometimes.
if the cat wasnt okay with wearing clothes, it would have clawed the living shiza out of those people. i know this because my neighbors cat clawed their son after he dressed him up.
your acting like an idiot with caps lock on calling a joke abuse. seriously, stop making an idiot of your self and go pet your cats that hate you.

you can never make a cat do something it doesnt want to.. the reason why is cause japanese people love cats and probally treat their cats alot better than you do.. i own a indoor cat treat him good and i have bought him a jacket for leash walking and he loves to put it on... if a cat didnt like it or fully trust you it would run away.... japanese people love cats and many are indoor cats and treated very well thats why the cats are so trusting and friendly..........
you cant make cats do things they dont want to........ so no its not evil.. its cause you dont love your cat enough to be able to do this..

there is nothing wrong with this,, its just when chinese or japanese people do something.. racist people twist it and say its cruel.... if a white person done this video raciist ppl like you would be saying its amazing..... i hate ppl like you. go die.....
YOU CANNOT EVER FORCE CATS TO DO WHAT THEY DONT WANT.. treat a cat good it will love you and trust you and obey you..... but if it didnt want to it wouldnt do it...

Cherly,
I am guessing you are a NATIVE American Indian? If not, guess what, your family came from a FOREIGNER country. I don't understand what's to hate about FOREIGNERS.

Lighten up! It is just a darn calendar shoot. Imagine the poor cats that are used as 'live bait' in Europe. THAT is torture and animal cruelty.

wow, just look at those japanese people laughing at that poor cat. yes, you can clearly see how the cat hates what they're doing to it. you can tell from how big the eyes are and how its flicking its tail like that.

it isn't torture or abuse, how many of you dress your kids up in crazy "cute" costumes for fun and take pictures of them, how many Americans dress they're dogs up and take them for walks and carry them in their purses
the cat is obviously not being harmed in anyway and its comfortable enough to sleep...get a life

So many people dress there animals up...is that wrong? I mean a cat that gets cold and uses a sweater or a dog the same wearing a sweater is that so bad? I mean as long as the cat is not like in pain and not minding it ya know...if it didnt want to be there it woul walk away...Your making a fus about a cat that is dressed up well go look at celebertys with pets...they dress them up...SO go make a fus at them, OR go make a fuss at the people that do the animal showes...they dress them up to, or what about on TV where they dress them up to show them there talent? YET its on TV and your making a fus about something that most people do...speicaly little kids who dress up there kitty like there dolly...if the cat was in pain and getting hurt it would snap back...or run away...

this is slightly ridiculous. people get so worked up over animals for no good reason. animals get eaten every day and as long as people aren't hurting animals for fun or profit i think it's ok. they are not hurting the cat and the cat may be annoyed but cats are just like that. it's natural for cats to be pissed off. i think the real issue here is all the political correctness. people need to get their priorities straight. like slavery and children used as shields or whatever. people are more important than animals

I like wacky japanese tv or show. I don't see any cat abuse. It looks fine to me. It is funny and enjoy to see animal in silly or funny skit unless NO ANIMAL ABUSE or HARM to animal at all. If I see it, I would be pissed. Do not being paranoid about animal abuse shit. relax..wink

shut up u little asshole. They are doing it for a calendar shoot and that's all. You clearly have no idea of what animal abuse is. If you want to talk about animal abuse then go 2 the videos about the poor baby seals being slaughtered in alaska, or the cats being experimented on in japan, now thats animal abuse. Stop being so serious and lighten up.
