This poor Sphinx cat was anesthetized for three hours to have a design inked onto his chest at a tattoo parlor.
It's actually not the first time we have seen animals with tattoos. Quite rightly, there was uproar over the last tattooed pets post on Trend Hunter, with the general consensus most of the images were (thankfully) computer generated. However, I was really upset to find that this Tutankhamen tattooed cat is 100% confirmed as real.
