No kidding. You see how hard he wacked that cat? He is lucky that cat just stuck him once and ran. I don't blame that cat one bit. That kid got what was coming.

If anything, the parents are at fault here. That kid thinks hitting is an appropriate response when angry.

That kid learned a much needed lesson.

Cats are dumb. If this was china, we'd be eating it for dinner...with ranch.

Kid had it coming.

Bingo.

The kid deserved the arse-beating.

I'm sure the cat was declawed with that young kid around.

I would hope so, but still. (well, providing it was ONLY an indoor cat)

You'd be a dead cat if I was the parent

Yes well, punishing a cat for defending itself from physical harm is certainly easier than teaching your child not to hit.

So +1 for that.

I grew up with several cats in the house and so did my daughter.

We didn't have to declaw any of them.

But again we learned pretty fast that they could cut us to ribbons if we caused them to.
