Cat Teaches Aggressive Child Not To Hurt Animals After Parents Failed To Do So

save the cat and put the child down

The cat was on a leash and the brat was told to stop and he didn't. The cat smacked him, smacked NOT clawed and the parents finally react to their brat. If somebody did that to my almost 14 yo 6 lb cat I would push them away and grab my cat. The only time she goes outside is in her carrier for vet visits so I don't have to worry about it. You do that c**p to a dog you might or might not get a warning growl.

If some little crôtch monster started messing with my cat, the warning swipe would come from me. If you don't know how to interact with other living beings (I bet he's a bully too) then expect pushback, and stupid lazy parents that enable such behaviour are the absolute worst.

Parents know their kids. My youngest is 4, I know she's still hands on with animals. In a loving you to death kind of way. She doesn't have control enough yet. So, she gets to pet the cat under super vision. Once she slipped upstairs the moment she knew I wasn't looking (I was in the bathroom or something) and came down crying she got scratched. I told her that's what happens when you pet an animal too roughly. Every animal has their own way to be pet (or not even). But even at 4 she doesn't poke in eyes or anything, that's just abuse. And every living beings has a right to defend itself from bodily harm. Either way, the parents know.

We had an elderly cat when I was little. I wasn't being rough but I was stroking her and ignored her signal to stop. So she swiped at me. My parents simply told me I should know better and it's the only way she can communicate so to pay attention to the signs in future.

Fkn little two-legged ferals shouldn't be allowed out in public without a muzzle and a leash. Here's my two cents. Several years ago I went to pick up a baby ferret I had ordered from a pet place (I already had one baby ferret at home and I know there should be at least two) Picked out my sweet little girl, who immediately conked out in my hands while I waited to do the paperwork, pay for her, etc. Three feral little bishes tearing around this pet place, screaming, mauling all the animals they could lay their hands on, sticking their hands in the fish tanks etc. Oldest ran up to me and demanded to pat my tiny, sleeping carpet shark. I flatly refused. She screamed at me, went running howling to mummy about the ''fat, mean lady'' (and I quote) I completely ignored it all, and got a lovely conspiratorial smile from the staff member behind the counter. One thing I CANNOT STAND is animals, especially small, very young or elderly, animals being harrassed.

the kid AND his parents need a better education. Hurt my cat and prepare yourself for a slap in your face. A cat is not a toy, even if you have an entitled kid. Period.

People need to be told how to deal with cats. They're not dogs. You need their permission to approach - let them smell you first, then only rub their head gently back away from their eyes. That's the limit until they know you A LOT better.

wtf are those inhuman parents of that entitled little monster gonna do if he does that to a DOG !, cos a swipe with a paw from a cat is nothing compared to what a dog will do to! Even the most loving safe well trained dog will not put up with THAT !! what vile parents , how the little one has learnt respect is beyond me but let’s hope he stays that way , cos the older ones gonna be in Juvi soon !! op op,z give old boy a huggle from me x

Some people are just idiots. Our cats are mostly indoor but they do go in the garden a lot, but as such they’re not used to being out in the street. One day one of them escaped as I was taking out the trash. I grabbed him fairly quickly and was carrying him back in when this lady with a medium-sized dog saw us and went ‘oh, look, doggie, it’s a cat! Let’s say hi to the cat!’. She proceeded to pick up her dog and shove it in my cat’s face, who obviously went mental and scratched half the skin off my arm. Good job, lady. That being said, that was clearly unintentional ignorance. I don’t know what the hell the parents in OP’s story were thinking. If my kid did something like that I’d know I’d failed somewhere as a parent.

1. Feral kid. 2. Pity you weren't walking a pet lion !

Control your child!! Luckily all the cat did was paw at him. Aggressive children that are mean to animals won’t stop there. I would be concerned how he acts towards others when he grows up. This is a warning sign to these parents. And as far as telling the owner to control the cat or you’ll have it put down! Control your child before someone kicks his a*s or puts him down!!!!

Years ago I hosted a BBQ for my birthday. Among the guests were my niece Pops (5 ) & my bff's kid (f5) Emi. It was a warm day & my 3 cats were inside chilling. The girls asked to go see them, I said OK but only if they are downstairs and only Lola & Nala as they are friendly. A few minutes later my niece comes out saying she got to pet the chubby one but now they went upstairs and Emi followed and kept trying to pull their tails. I was just about to head inside to save my cats when my friends kid comes out crying & screaming with a very visible bloody hand. She'd followed the cats upstairs & was pulling them about ( including the one I said not to touch ). Long story short she got bitten by 1 and scratched by the other 🤣.
