This poor cat was being marketed online as a 'gothic kitten' by by Holly Crawford who live in Pennsylvania in America.Crawford marketed 'gothic kittens' with ear and neck piercings over the Internet - she has now been convicted of animal cruelty.
The 35-year-old dog groomer will be sentenced on March 31. Crawford was charged in December 2008 after animal welfare officers took several kittens and a cat from her home.
Deputy district attorney David Pedri told jurors that Crawford inflicted pain upon three black kittens because, he alleged, "she thought it was neat" to sell gothic kittens on the Internet.
Defence attorneys argued that parents allow children to get pierced ears at young ages, and it would be wrong to hold cat owners to a higher standard. (A/P)
