Bonsai kittens...are they real or fake?!

Question

Is this whole concept fake???

Answer 1

i think and hope so.  

Answer 2

FAKE. Put 'internet myths' into google and you'll see, it was a prank/experiment by some college students.

Answer 3

Despite a massive negative response and much belief otherwise, the entire site was an elaborate hoax by a group of MIT graduate students.

The site was in part a parody of the Japanese art of bonsai, but also resembles the mythical practice of comprachicos (in which the subjects are human).

The hoax suggested that people could buy the required equipment through the website; this turned out to be entirely false, like the rest of the site. The hoaxer went so far as to create a falsified guestbook on the site, containing user responses, but checking these email addresses proves fruitless, as none of the users are real. Further support for the hoax came in the form of a falsified mailing list.

While the site was still live, the original registrant for Bonsaikitten.com was falsely listed with the address for the Department of Art History and Archaeology, Columbia University.
