Still dazed after being anaesthetised for three hours, a pedigree pet is hauled upright to show off its new tattoo.

The controversial “body enhancement” was carried out on Mickey – a rare Canadian Hairless breed also known as a Sphynx cat.

His female owner was said to be delighted with the Tutankhamun design inked on to his chest at a tattoo parlour.

She said: “I wanted something new and different for the times we live in.”

But horrified animal rights campaigners last night slammed the sick fad in Moscow as barbaric – and fear it could catch on among wealthy pet owners in the West.

An RSPCA spokesman said: “We are totally against using animals for purely cosmetic reasons just on the owner’s whim. Clearly the animal has no say in the matter.

“We do not believe in using pets as fashion accessories. It shows no respect for the animal whatsoever. So far we have only heard about this practice happening overseas – and we hope it doesn’t spread.”


According to the info given when you pass the the cursor over the pictures, this occured in Russia

Ah thats grand though, hair grows out - dosent hurt the animal and in fact that type of clip on poodles has a reason behind it. it allows the animal to sweat but keeps vital parts warm where the hair is thus it dosent get arthritis in its limbs, kindneys are kept warm and all the organs such as heart and lungs are protected. Surely a haircut like that is even better then totally neglecting the animal and letting it get all matted?

Tattoos though....totally unaccecpted! cruel and unfair on the animal

That's absolutely disgusting:mad: The idea of doing something as pointless and pathetically shallow as that to an animal turns my stomach.

That's pretty vile alright.

I get enough looks with a rottweiler without getting a pair of sparrows tattooed on her neck! Imagine!
