kitty in a bad home

Thanks so much. This is why I really like Pet Talk. My family doesn't take to researching and talking about animals as much as me, and it's nice I can come here to talk about it. Thanks again for helping me. I will talk to my friend and her brother.

Sometimes a cild that is being bullied becomes very frustrated and takes it on on a small Creature.
I hope that you can help that Kitty before He becomes compeltely anti Social,and Unadoptable.

Yes acctually Dylan is always being bullied. His sister told me about it.

That 9 year old brat is old enough to know that a cat is NOT his personal punching bag

!

! I can understand your position here between your "friend" and her brother. But what about the kitty who is clearly being abused? What's most disturbing is the parents won't step in and do something to set that kid straight no matter what it takes. It seems very unlikely that things will change over there and that cute little kitty will needlessly suffer for it. Report them to animal authorities in your area. This kid's abuse of the cat is scary and needs to be properly addressed!

If your mum cant help you then tell a teacher and maybe she could have a word with his parents or get help for the poor kitty.

I dont know who I am more angry at, him or his parents

I am prolly more angry at his parents. They are the responsible *ADULTS* and they should know when to draw the line. They are being stupid quite frankly.

I agree! I hate parents who KNOW what their kids are doing and do nothing.

Absolutely the parents are at fault here, no doubt in my mind, it is up to them to teach their child to respect and treat animals properly, even though he is nine years old and should know better, he probably doesn't because his parents have not bothered.

Again do your best, and thank you for at least caring enough to come here and discuss it with us all and get advice, now go and act on it and help change that kitties life for the better OK.
