Kim Kardashian’s Photo With Cat Sparks Outrage

Luckily the cat wasn't hurt while doing the photo shoot with Kim Kardashian.

Kim, 29, posted a photo on her Twitter account of her holding a cat by the scruff of the neck. Her fan's were angry and tweeted negative reactions to what they saw in Kim's photo.

On Monday, the reality star posted in a blog: "Rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up. The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals."

Kardashian wasn't condemned by animal rights groups because they saw that she wasn't intentionally harming the cat, but said her actions weren't perfect.

A rep for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals told the New York Daily News: "Kim Kardashian isn't the only person who mistakenly thinks that because a mother cat picks up her kittens by the scruff of the neck that a supportive hand under the rump isn't needed. But I'll bet plenty of fans have let her know – nicely, we hope!"

Kittens for a brief moment of time can be held by the scruff of the neck, but the way Kim was holding the kitten is setting a bad example for others who may think its okay to hold kittens in an inappropriate way, said a rep from the L.A. chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
