If someone is brave, ie., stupid enough to even try to tell me a joke about cats that has to do w/harming them in any way or a joke that is anything other than cute, they get an education from me really quick! I don't understand why some people feel that violence against a cat is funny and I do believe that this is a large contributing factor to the heinous crimes that are committed against them every day. Case in point: the little kitten in NC that some teenage boys thought would make a great football and the poor little guy ended up losing a leg because of it.

This guy has danger written all over him. He's a stranger who has the potential to harm your family. I would forbid him to enter my home or be anywhere near anyone I love. Guns are not toys and to treat them so nonchalantly, especially to a child, is not only irresponsible, it's dangerous and could turn deadly. Your daughter needs to be made to understand the seriousness of this situation and the consequences of her lack of concern for her son's safety. This isn't an indictment of gun owners; I know several responsible gun owners and they would be appalled if they heard this story. Take control of this situation now before it becomes a life-long regret that you can never change.

I have to ask how long she knows these guys before they are brought into your home? These days you have to be real careful WHO you invite into your home. There would be a rule that she can not bring every Tom, Dick and Harry she meets into MY home and I would certianlly be checking out anyone she wanted to bring in the house before they ever set a foot in my door. Hanging out with someone is one thing, bringing them into MY home is another ball game.

I forgot to ask if they gave Cammeron a toy gun? I wouldn't allow that either.

I have a very strict "no gun" policy in my house and, even though I'm having a boy next, I will stand by that rule. Maybe squirt guns, but if they look like real guns, nope, they're not allowed in my house. I'm appauled that someone would teach a child to use a cat as target practice, if even just to mock. I already can't stand that guy Cam's mom is dating and I don't know anything else about him! That's just downright unacceptable and I can totally understand you being upset. I know you're in a tough situation with the tension between Ashley and yourself. This is a very tough situation. I know that I would be just as upset as you if my child were to pretend to shoot my cats or dogs, and I'd never allow anyone into my house if anyone DARED do that with my cats or dogs, BUT...if it involved family it's a whole other story. Wow. That just really stinks for you and I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this. We certainlly don't want Ashley being offended and flipping out and taking off with Cam. That would be terrible.

I'll add you to my prayers that the jerk takes off out of Ashley's life and that's the end of it.

He's stepped WAAAAAY over the line telling Cameron that cats are target practice and I'd definitely put him in his place. It's your home. You have the right to throw his butt out. Knowing Ashley the way I do from all you've told us, she's gotta be out of her mind. Cameron is way to young to learn about guns, be near them or taught that it's okay to hurt litttle innocent animals. I'd send this jerk packing.
