If it means anything, I had to learn from my mistakes with my first cat, as well. I was the one raising her since I was in what, fourth grade I think? Took a lot of trial and error to figure out when she was playing, and when she meant business.

My kid was about... 6? Playing with a cat named Corey Suddenly he's crying, flayed from elbow to wrist down his arm. Ok, scratched, but it's a pretty good one and Corey was a good girl. He had blown his breath hard in her face... Just like we told him not to do to the dog. Kid's all crying and blubbering but actually stammered out "it's my own fault" or words to that effect. Gave the kid a lot of credit for that.

Honestly, you could have looked your niece in the eye and said, "I told you so" and still not have been the a*****e. What a brat.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

Like how you worded it.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

I did that when my kids were in grade school. I always taught them how to interact with animals. And don't touch someone's animal without permission. Always ask. They have taught my 5 year old grandson too.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

They’ve been warned plenty of times. If they send their kid over to bother the dog, one day someone is going to get bit. Not your dog’s fault, not your fault. They’ll try to make it your fault. It’s not and don’t let them try that. Plenty of warning.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

Putting his face right next to hers and annoying her is basically begging her to bite him in the face.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

We had cats when I grew up. I learnt very quickly not to bother our elderly cat when I was around 4 because she scratched me - my Mum said "I've told you before she doesn't like that, I've told you before what signs to look for. The cat can't speak so you push it, you'll get scratched". I paid way more attention the cat's "signs" after that. All I can say is if this happens again because the niece's behaviour doesn't change then yes, she deserves it then.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

She deserved it because she caused it.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

The little brat got what she deserved. She was told repeatedly what to do and what not to do. She decided she didn't need to cookie the rules, and apparently thinks the cat is there for her to abuse.. She is lucky it didn't bite her. He mouthy sounds like an idjitt and the cause of the 9 y/o's behavior issues, selfish behavior, and rudeness. She esky cos hurt the cat. I would trek her that if she so much as touched one hair on the cat, she would be shoeing an hour writing about what she did wrong, why it's wrong etc. If she half-asses it, she s does all over. Only allow contact between kid and cat when directly supervised by you

Phrasing could be better but otherwise 100% NTA. Send me your sister, I'll explain it to her =)

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

We've got a 20 year old who we have to keep telling to leave the dog alone when she's sleeping. He just can't help himself from bothering the dog, putting his face right next to hers, and generally annoying her when all she's doing is keeping to herself. He's not got developmental difficulties, he's just an idiot.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

I have this problem as a dog owner in an apartment complex. Some people think my dog is a Disneyland ride and send their kids/toddlers to poke at him while he's dumping lunch. When I warn them he's not good with kids, he's really old, they get mad. I walk with a cane and also a leash, I don't have time to protect tiny fingers.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

Sounds like OP lives with her sister and her sister's kids in order to help her sister with childcare. She can't really tell her niece to leave XD However, I agree with your sentiment - I don't tolerate anyone being rough with my pets. My puppy is disabled, but adorable, so little kids want to pet him/know what's wrong with him (he has myoclonus.) I have to tell them to be careful, especially with his ears. 99% of children will listen and will pet him gently. OP's niece, at 9, is old enough to learn. She is treating the cat like this deliberately because she WANTS to.

9 is plenty old enough to learn to treat animals gently.

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

No and dge did deserve it,time to learn about cause and effect and about consequences now instead of at 16 when 2 late

Aunt Tells 9-Year-Old She Deserves To Be Scratched For The Way She Treated Her Pet

If someone is mistreating my pet this badly, they are leaving. I don't care if it's a child. They were told repeatedly what to do and what not to do and it kept happening. Poor cat.

At one restaurant I worked at, employees got a shift drink. Everyone from dishwashers to hostesses could sit at the bar (in work clothes) and have a free drink. The customers became friends and we had a great time. I like businesses that are proactive in protecting their employees.

Well, that's just it. So ial media HAS changed everything, & unfortunately not always for the good. BUT one thing I can think of as good, is that due to sites like FB...we have friends from not only other time zones, but other entire countries...& we love them & care about them, as if they truly were right next door. The BAD side, of course, is the ppl out there, who, like the customer in the story, they not only let ppl have it in real life, but also post their rantings online. I recently saw something on TV about social media is declining.Well, it's declining because of all the Karen's & Kevin's out there in the world who think higher of their own opinion than they do their fellow human beings welfare.

Unless you are in Texas ...where they now have a "road rage" law . The law is actually to keep people FROM slamming on their breaks, & causing a "too close driver is at fault " accident....but what it has actually done is given the impatient drivers a weapon....."I don't know what happened, your honor, we were all going with the flow of traffic, & the guy ahead of me just for no reason slammed on his brakes...like he was mad, your honor".....See?
