jesus h. christ, I cant believe some of these people are whining about the "torturing" of these poor defenseless kittens. With that logic, I suppose Wegman's dogs were stuffed, and at the very least Anne Geddes fed heroin to all those babies and shoved sticks up their butts to get them posed. You can put a kitten in a trance by rolling it on it's back, they sleep 18 hours a day fer crap sake. Patience and ingenuity go a long way.

Well, this is just too bad. Not even "good" bad, either. (or is good/bad bad now?)
However, I will say I find it refreshing that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, which could be considered hip about this venture.
So thanks - I think (?)

Someone should check out the Ride Snowboards BERZERKER board. They did the same concept a year ago but not only with kittens...they had a two puppies and a bunny as well.

...if that doesn't take you there just go to their site and click on the DFC logo in the lower corner and then Berzerker in the Boards area.

Like the Jamiroquai(sp) song? Why would you remix that? Oh yeah, cause you're Fatboy Slim and your career, along with those of the Chemical Brothers,and Crystal Method are over. Does that dodgey 'Rain' club in Vegas have a lounge hour for these guys?
Oh yeah, fuckin' brilliant shoot, by the way; should have used these pix for the 'Do's and Dont's' caption competition.

Hiphop cats:
Sleepy cat on the sofa: "Damn, nigga, I'm fadin' like a muhfucka-shit's makin me.. sleepy"

No one noticed that the cats in 2 of these pictures were high? The cat's with the martinis have lines of coke set up on the coffe table for their classy soire. The hip-hop cats, however, prefer a blunt, but are just letting it chill in their ash tray, with the tobacco of the cigar in the ash tray in the bottom right corner of the pic.

How were you able to pull this off? Kittens are extremely difficult to work with. I've tried many a time dressing my cats up and it always ends in an angry hissing claw fight. If this is real then I want to see more of Kitty City. Dibs on the sleeping kitty in the velour suit.

Thank you for reminding me of what a rip-off artist I am. It's important for watchdogs like you to keep me in check. Until reading your comment I'd had myself convinced I was drawing influence from 1920's pelorian photos and 80's Japanese kitten calenders. I'd even started to believe I was adding some of my own ideas to this tradition. I'm sorry. You're right, even though I've never seen the video you're refering to...I owe it all to Fatboy Slim. Please allow to just get on with my day and pretend this never happened. Today I'm designing some outfits for Franz Ferdinand...the inventors of Rock 'n Roll.
