[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he s a budding sociopath.  Give the cats away, NOW.  They are dumb animals and cannot protect themselves.  One day in the very near future one if them may scratch and bite the daylights out if him, which he deserves, but the cats do not deserve to be put down because they are protecting themselves.

Do you have kids or cats? Just curious. This is such a bizarre response. This is not sociopathic behavior. This kid is too young to be described like that. Think twice before you post such over the top statements, PP.  This is where a different poster would insert "Frankly, you sound unhinged."[/quote]

I have kids, cats, and dogs and not once did any of them kick, pull fur, tail, or whiskers.  I taught them they had to be gentle.

I guess you think torturing animals is developmentally appropriate.  A 2.5 yr old should know not to hurt animals.[/quote]

No, I don't think torturing animals is age appropriate. love your sense of drama BTW.  My experience with animals is that they seem to understand the concept of babies and small children. They're adult animals, after all. I'm sure OP's cats don't enjoy what her toddler is doing but I'm pretty sure they understand the difference between being tortured and having their tails pulled by a toddler. I also seriously doubt your statement that none of your kids ever pulled fur, whiskers or tail. Now THAT would not be developmentally appropriate. Life for kids is about learning. It is not a statement of who this kid is that he is learning how to not treat the cats at two and a half. He will learn. If he grows up and never learns, then you can start throwing the word 'sociopath' around.[/quote]
