No I don't find it cute either. I've seen clips like that before. I remember seeing a tortoise on you've been framed on a turntable! If it was a dog they'd have got done for cruelty!!

the only thing I'll say is that I doubt the tort is even aware of the cat certainly not weight wise, these torts can move furniture by walking under them and the cat wouldn't weigh much, and no I don't think its funny but 'cruel'?

the cat only stayed on because of the pyramiding, if it had a smooth shell it would have slipped off, i hate 'free roaming house' torts they should be in a garden or in a table with proper lighting

I doubt the tort will be bothered at all... a bit like someone sitting on a pony, I don't see a problem really

I actually think you have a very good point there Alan. It is no big deal really... A bit like a mum carrying her child too.
