Kardashian Defends Harper's Bazaar Photos

Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian followed up her all-racy Harper's Bazaar pictorial which were released last week with another talked-about photo session: featuring a new feline friend.

Kim Kardashian wrote in her TwitPic profile "Pic from my shoot yesterday...good kitty cat!" In the snapshot, the 29-year-old, wearing long leather black gloves and a cleavage-bearing top, holds a black cat by the scruff of its neck.

The reality star drew ire from some fans on Twitter, who worried that she was causing pain to the kitty -- and finally defended herself on her blog. "Rest assured, the owner and vet were on set and showed me how to pick him up," Kardashian wrote.
