I won't tolerate owning mean nasty cats. I've had my cats since they were kittens and the lot of them can be handled extensivly without even thinking of biting or scratching. If I boot someone (like Shaft for stealing Pharoh's food) they run away and sulk, and that's the way it should be.
Mean cats should directed back to hell and reside there on a perminate basis.
That family is rediculous. First, for owning the demon kitty and second, for being trapped in a bedroom by it.
I sorta agree all things considered.
I still think the father was wrong to kick the cat. The baby actually started it by pulling the cat's tail. Hurt cat=cat reacts, because it's a cat, an animal. Go to zoo and pull a lion's tail and see what happens. It won't be fun.
Now I KNOW a child as old as this kid can't really be easily disciplined about annoying animals but retaliating against the cat was the wrong way to handle this. It's
already annoyed because it's tail was hurt and then a double wammy; the adult kicks it.
Bottom line: if the cat and the child react badly and the matter can't be resolved, cat goes by-by and is "re-homed."
Back when my nephew was a baby and visited with my sister, I wondered about how my cat would mix. Turned out the cat loved my sister but wouldn't be in the same room with my nephew, who was just learning crude words at the time. I guess the cat "knew" it just wasn't gonna work out well. But it was an acceptable arrangement.
