All these hot-sh*t photographers and nobody but NOBODY caught the 
obvious.

The reason the kitten isn't moving is the exact same reason our 
esteemed Kyle cropped the kitten's tail out of the photograph...

The sorry sumbitch has its tail nailed to a board under the seamless 
and it doesn't hurt so much if the kitten sits very very still... but 
he knew that if he included that in the frame he'd have irate cat 
people all over him like ugly on an ape, so he had to leave it out...
