??!! Adorable Kittens Face Terrible New Weapon
posted by August 22 at 10:00 AM
onNote to cat lovers: Think twice before taking snapshots of newborn kittens:
Sara Tarbor had just gotten a new Cannon digital camera after her cat Taz gave birth to 4 kittens. “I bought the camera so I could show the kittens to my family back in Atlanta. The kittens had just turned 4 weeks old and were getting really frisky. My biggest kitten named Spike was rolling and jumping all around so I had taken quite a few photos of him. I was laying on the floor when he jumped at me as I took a photo. The camera flashed right in his face and immediately Spike started flapping around on the floor like a fish. At first I thought he was just playing but I soon figured out it was a seizure”.Tarbor grabbed a blanket to cover the kitten from light because she had heard it helped people with seizures but it didn’t help. “The kitten stopped moving after 30 seconds or so and died”, said Tarbor. “I had never heard of a cat having a seizure induced by a camera flash so I didn’t think I could hurt them by taking photos”.

does it work for pit bulls?
Flash is retarded, anyway.
Are there any other cases of this or is this a freak of nature story? I have taken pics with flash of kittens before and none of them died ect....
Is it wrong that I find this story intensely funny?
It is. So, so wrong.
Brad, you are really weird for adding the image of the camera at the bottom.
Don't use flash on animals... didn't they teach you that in elementary school?
Animals react badly to things like a brilliant flash of light.
I'm more worried about Walmart trying to kill kittens with kibble.
@4, I guess the life of a kitten is just a flash in the pan to you.
That was my fault, actually, not the camera's. Sorry about that.
That's horrible. I need to go to my happy place.
Poor kitty!
@4 - Yes that is wrong. But not as wrong as my first thought ... The kitten survived the seizure, but was then smothered to death by the blanket.
is that the actual kitten that was killed? because it looks terrified. poor thing.
Ok, if no one else is going to do it, I will:
r no flashez in kittie heavn
I'M SAD! AND UNHAPPY!!!
i love life.
I feel badly for Sara, she must be hearbroken. And poor Spike, he didn't know what hit him. And please, will the morons who think this is funny go hide somewhere?
Submitted to Snopes. Actually true or not, it has "urban legend" written all over it.
"I can has fatal seizure now?"
Wow, I'm going to stop using a flash when I take pictures of my kitten. And I'm also not going to use my cell phone at the gas station because it could cause a massive explosion...and kill a nearby kitten.
Cameras don't kill; people with cameras kill. That flash didn't fire itself, you know.
@19
LMAO!!!
Clearly, we need to ban cameras. And kittens.
Don't tell Vick about this.
Sadness! :(
How can a person looking at a picture of an object with "Canon" written across it in huge white letters write "Cannon"?
I could fnarf : )I am definitely capable of doing that ; )
@20 Thank you! don't forget to pass this message along to 10 friends within 20 minutes or another kitten will fall to the curse.
Well, fnarf, if the kitten was shot with a Cannon, its death would make much more sense, wouldn't it?
Hmmm...I have my doubts that even if the story is true, whether the flash is actually responsible. Every story about seizure inducing lights involve rhythmic lights flashing very quickly. It could just be coincidental that the kitten had a seizure while she was taking pictures.
CAT-ASTROPHE!
I feel dirty.
Please let us know that the photo shown is not the kitten in the storyline.
