Have you guys seen the Bonsai Kitty site? It was started as a prank years ago by a group of college boys who were tired of animal rights people lecturing them. They claim to put a kitten in a bottle and as the kitten grows, it's body conforms to the shape of the bottle. Then you break the bottle and have this odd shaped cat. The rumor is that the FBI even investigated it at one time. It's a hoax, of course; but every so often an animal rights activist will find the site and be horrified at the abuse of these kittens and everyone gets a big laugh. So, no, you can't believe everything on the net.
