Yes it is a joke. You can find more information on Urban Legend Zeitgeist: Bonsai Kittens Hoax
http://www.urbanlegends.com/ulz/bonsai.html
and at http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/outrage/bonsai.htm
When you get emails about bonsai kittens look at http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/bonsaikittens.htm

Still a lot of people would like to shut it down.
I don't agree with this. This site reveals the double concions people have.
Every day many calfs are being raised in small dark boxes highly similar to bonsai kittens waiting to be slaughtered, never seen the daylight.
But a fictive site about cats makes a much bigger impact
I'm sure that if you would show this site to almost every meat eater he would find it sick. But still he is doing the same when he eats calfs meat.
That's why i find that this site is more than a joke and more a mirror for current society dealing with animals.

That is a really good point about compairing the kitten to the calf.
