Kim Kardashian's kitten handling sparks outrage

Kim Kardashian holding a kitten on a photo shoot for Allure - Twitpic.com Kim Kardashian has staunchly defended her controversial handling of a kitten.

The reality show star prompted outrage among animal activists after holding the feline aloft by the scruff of its neck for a Twitter pic.

Kim insists her unconventional kitty carry was by no means cruel to the animal - but animal rights charity PETA vehemently disagree.

A spokesperson said: "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."

However, Kim is adamant she did no wrong. She said: "I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but 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."
