HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Kim Kardashian is defending herself after posting a controversial photo on Twitter that showed her holding a cat by the scruff of the neck.
The 29-year-old took to her blog on Monday, assuring her fans that the animal wasn’t harmed during the weekend photo shoot (view the pic).
"I have been getting negative comments regarding the way I was holding the kitty, but rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up," she wrote. "The cat was not harmed in any way and is perfectly fine! I love animals and would never do anything to harm any animals."
Kardashian made a splash with another recent photo in which she posed nude for the May issue of Harper’s Bazaar as part of the magazine’s effort to promote natural beauty.
