kitty in a bad home

[momcat]

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.

yep, I went over to her house today. I told her to talk to her parents. she did, and Dylan got in huge trouble for it. I was mad at them because they already knew what Dylan was doing and they didn't do anything until I spoke up.

Well done, I understand it must be hard for you since your friend is his sister and you dont like being forward with her and all but the poor kitty is needs someone with a voice

Good for you in speaking up on behalf of this poor defenseless kitty. Thank you for doing that and I pray that the boy doesn't take it out on the kitty when no one is around.

What I don't understand is why the parents, knowing how their son treated the cat before, didn't say anything then. Why did they do it once you spoke up about it. It makes me wonder what kind of parents they are for not teaching him how to treat an animal with love and respect in the first place. Also if this boy is being bullied, I think the parents and the school should know about it so they can take care of the problem before their son hurts anymore animals.

Yah, I agree. I think they did something about it because they know they could get in trouble about it. Kayla and Dylans dad is an alcoholic, so that's why I was afraid to warn them about it in the first place. I am kinda scared of their dad in a way.
