Purr!

Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian followed up her all-nude Harper's Bazaar pictorial (released last week) with another talked-about photo session: featuring a new feline friend.

PHOTOS: Kim and other celebs bare crazy cleavage

"Pic from my shoot yesterday...good kitty cat!" she wrote beneath a new TwitPic. In the snapshot, the 29-year-old, wearing long leather black gloves and a cleavage-bearing top, holds a black cat by the scruff of its neck.

PHOTOS: Kim and other stars in too-tight bikinis!

The reality star drew ire from some fans on Twitter, who worried that she was causing pain to the kitty -- and finally defended herself on her blog.  "Rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up," Kardashian wrote. The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm animals."

    Kim will do anything for publicity, she had to know that picture would cause a disturbance among many people,,most anyone with half a brain, would take a pass on it,,there is no talent or title among the Kardashian sisters, the Hiltons,,and the list goes on...dressing up in black and holding a black cat by its neck,,,go figure,,

    ANIMAL ABUSER!

    Paloma Says: I don't understand the big deal. How do people think mother cats carry around their kittens? At least Kim doesn't have sharp teeth that are poking the kitten's neck! Obviously it doesnâ??t hurt the kittens when their mothers pick them up by the neck. Why anyone would think this is animal abuse is beyond me. People can be so ignorant. This is a non-issue. ----------------------------------- Thank you, Paloma, along with others. This is no harm done. Some of you people need to read a freaking book about the nature of animals and educate your deluted selves.

    This looks mean though I doubt she hurt the cat. Why is it weird for people to say something about it? I think it's perfectly normal to be concerned. There are lots of animal lovers out there.

    It's a cat!!! A friggin cat, not a baby! I had cats, and holding it that way DOES not hurt it, in any way! Bunch of weirdos! If she was eating the cat of punching it, then you can get your panties in a twist. Bunch of stupid a$$es!!

    I am so sick of this chicken head!! How can someone so stupid get all this fame and fortune? Even if she didn,t hurt the kitten,the way she held it was just not appealing!!Kim K is so over exposed that it is sickening. She is always tweeting pics of herself,and it is just too much!! I know she is pretty,but there are alot of beautiful women out there that should get half of the oppurtunitys she gets!! There is so much heartache goin on in this world,but we chose to focus on this tramp! Why doesn,t she go to Haiti and give some of her time there? I can,t wait till her 15 minutes are up

    This Kim is a high-class prostitute - the kind that Tiger Woods paid for on his Vegas trips. For sure.

    I can't WAIT til KIM get PREGNANT and blows up like a balloon. She probably wont be NEARLY as sexy afterwards like her struggling sister now Kourtney & even sexy Kendra Wilkinson now Baskett!! Good luck Kim, let's see you get pregnant and how you looked after!

    She looks like a crazy B! Run and hide!

  • April 20, 2010 - 10:51pm Chad

    THE LOOK ON HER FACE WAS SO TOTALLY PRICELESS.

  • April 20, 2010 - 10:51pm Chad

    Jesse I LOVED THAT PART!!!!!!!!!!

    Can someone tell me who the Dash Dolls are?

  • April 20, 2010 - 9:51pm Maddie

    Most Americans are such animal lovers. I know I am. I don't know if this would hurt it or not to be honest. It looks allright.

  • April 20, 2010 - 9:37pm Starla

    Kim is not hurting the kitty by any means. Mother cats carry their young in the same manner but with teeth. The kitty probably thinks Kim is the mommie! I love Kim Kardashian. She's beautiful and I wish I looked just like her!

  • April 20, 2010 - 9:26pm AMO

    Ya, it's fine... I do that to my cats all the time. They don't care! They're used to the feeling bc that's how their mom toted them when they were kittens. Move on people!

    GROW UP, ITS A CAT. MOTHER PICK UP THEIR CATS BY THEIR NECKS. THE CAT WASNT HARMED. GROW UP AND SHUT P

    I think she is going a little over the edge. Simmer down Kim.A lot of people think you are a very sexy woman, Do you think you are? Because it seems you do not feel you are, because you are constantly displaying yourself, as if you need some sort of reassurance.

    Why don't we see Rocky anymore? I would love to see him.
