Cat liposuction craze fattens the animal health market…
A new trend has pet-owners paying for plastic surgery and liposuction for their four-legged friends…
(Los Angeles, CA) - Previously, affording things such as feline fitness has been restricted to spending a few extra dollars on healthier food, but some cat and dog owners have taken to paying thousands of dollars in liposuction or plastic surgery for their pets in a practice controversially deemed “animalplasty.”
The operation is also called doggyplasty - or for a cat, kittyplasty - and involves surgically altering your animal’s appearance. The trend originated in Los Angeles, CA but has since caught on in other parts of the country after several celebrities paid for their four-legged friends to get the surgery.

Amongst the first celebrities to dabble with animalplasty was celebrity heiress Paris Hilton, legendary musician Elton John and boxing champion Mike Tyson - each of whom either paid for plastic surgery or liposuction fat removal on their pets.
Since 2006, animal plastic surgeons have opened up shop in other major cities such as Dallas, TX and New York City.
But that’s not to say that the trend hasn’t encountered opposition. Organizations such as PETA call animal surgery “disgusting and unnatural.” Furthermore, the surgeries have had an unexpected side effect on the animal’s mental stability as some post-op pets have become uncontrollably aggressive while others have taken to mutilating themselves by biting open stitches or scars, sometimes with fatal consequences. Because of this disturbing trend, animal-rights activists like those at PETA have begun to use the term “suicide” to describe what the post-op pets are doing.
When asked to respond to this accusation, Doctor Karnell, a prominent animalplasty surgeon, said “The accusations are ridiculous and demented. A little post-op mental illness taken on by an animal is natural for pets and humans. And the suicide rate amongst post-op pets is no higher than that of post-op humans. So I hardly see this as a moral issue.”
The American Society for Provention of Cruelty to Animals has issued a statement saying that they will investigate the matter further before deciding whether or not these operations fall under the category of animal cruelty.

There was this guy see.
He wasn’t very bright and he reached his adult life without ever having learned “the facts”.
Somehow, it gets to be his wedding day.
While he is walking down the isle, his father tugs his sleeve and says,
“Son, when you get to the hotel room…Call me”
Hours later he gets to the hotel room with his beautiful blushing bride and he calls his father,
“Dad, we are the hotel, what do I do?”
“O.K. Son, listen up, take off your clothes and get in the bed, then she should take off her clothes and get in the bed, if not help her. Then either way, ah, call me”
A few moments later…
“Dad we took off our clothes and we are in the bed, what do I do?”
O.K. Son, listen up. Move real close to her and she should move real close to you, and then… Ah, call me.”
A few moments later…
“DAD! WE TOOK OFF OUR CLOTHES, GOT IN THE BED AND MOVED REAL CLOSE, WHAT DO I DO???”
“O.K. Son, Listen up, this is the most important part. Stick the long part of your body into the place where she goes to the bathroom.”
A few moments later…
“Dad, I’ve got my foot in the toilet, what do I do?”

Sounds like a very interesting concept! Sometimes I can’t help but make a move with my charm spirituality I have a nice joke for you) Did you hear about the butcher who accidentally backed into the meat grinder? He got a little behind in his work.

In most cases a product’s rating went down, expanding the range between highest and lowest rated.Unlike Kaspersky, Symantec provides Norton users with little explanation of its features or settings, either in the configuration settings or on its technical support section. Also we don’t like Norton’s dependency on Internet Explorer to explain Help items or services provided by Symantec (windows pop up in IE even when Firefox is your default browser), or that fee-based services have once again crept into the technical support section. Having improved a lot
last year in Symantec’s flagship antivirus product, it makes sense we’d see more modest enhancements for this year’s Norton AntiVirus 2008. While Norton

There are some breeds, like English Bulldogs, that sometimes require plastic surgery for medical reasons like cherry eye or removal of infected wrinkles.

Thanks for sharing.
