Animal lovers and PETA frowned Kim Kardashian for her new picture posing with a black cat. This picture post on her twitter account. She is holding a black cat by the scruff of its neck. TMZ reports that the hold Kardashian has on the cat is an accepted way to hold a cat for a few seconds according to a vet and the owner of the cat. They also said that Kim is probably not a cat lover, as you can see from the picture, but she doesn't look like she intends to hurt it.

Kim also said that she would never do anything to harm an animal. The photo viewed more than 153,000 times with a 3.4 million twitter followers. There is no description to the picture as to why she is holding a cat like that.

And the RSPCA said it would be happy to advice Kardashian on "proper animal handling techniques".
