Animal Cruelty Hits Home

Wow!!! You are my hero!!!! You may have felt like you over reacted, but the worker had absolutely no right in treating your animal like that!!! The man should be the one to pay the vet bills as he assaulted your cat. I would have done the same thing, except it would have been in an area where the message would have really hit home and left a lasting impression! No one has the right to treat any animal in the way that this A$$hole did. I won't dignify him by calling him a human, because obviously he isn't one. Thank you for standing up for the rights of your cat, and other people's animals. If he would kick your cat, he probably has kicked other peoples animals. He earned your retaliation and I am very proud of you for loosing it and standing up for your cat's rights!!! I will go to bed tonight with a smile on my face because there is someone out there with the guts to do to someone what they did to that person's companion. You are a hero in my book!!!!

I am in shock at the brutality that this man showed towards your poor Oliver. I would have freaked out and kicked him too... good for you for showing the man your boots. Oliver being in the way or not there are other ways to handle the situation then to be as calloused and down right cruel as to kick the cat! I would also have fired him on the spot and get him to pay for any veterinary bills and medications that Oliver is on... Lord knows how expensive it can be. I am just shocked that people can be so cruel in this day and age... its sad really! I just hope that Oliver will not be traumatized by strangers now and that he makes a full recovery... as for buddy who kicked the cat... karma plays out in the end and he will pay for what he did one way or another!!!!

How horrible. I'm not a violent person either, but if I saw someone harming my two "babies" I probably do the same exact thing. What possessed that jerk from kicking Oliver in the first place? I read the response you gave in some of the other that your husband called the police...did they or you file charges against the man as I hope so

I don't think you over reacted at all. If someone did that to one of my animals, I probably would have went off on him. That is so mean and so un-called for. I hope your kitty gets better.

You didnt over-react at all. I would have done same thing. What was he thinking? OK, he may not have known the hot oil was there but so what? he should not have kicked him in the first place. If he has been hired to do some work then he is a guest and that makes it worse in a way. I hope your cat will be ok. I hate it when people are cruel to animals. Makes me very upset and angry.

Good for you! You did what you supposed to! If I saw someone doing this to my animals that I consider as they are my babies I would shoot them without a doubt, but they are very lucky that never have happened to me! Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually he was lucky it wasn't my cat. If he did that to my cat I wouldtear his muscles the way he torn Oliver's. You can probably tell him that I said this so he would never go near my cat if he ever works for me (well unlikely, but I am warning everyone who reads this hahah)I know a nun kicked a pregnant cat while this cat would go if she spared a bit of food. I actually prayed something happened to her, and it did. She was then crippled, either hands or legs have to be amputated well that suits her. Animals are living beings too, harming weak animals is the same thing as harming weak human beings. I know how cats can really annoy people, but they can just put this cat inside a room and close the door so the owner can open it when the work is done for that matter. That's what I did when we had a renovation, I put my cat in the computer room with her litter, food and basket then closed the door. When the workers left, we cleaned up and let the cat out so that way she didn't disturb them or got hurt. No you did not over react at all and I am glad you mentioned in your comments that you reported him. I am sure this is not the first time it happened, I hope this was the worst though, or else anyone with pets should never hire him.

Hi, I would have done the same thing if someone has done that to my pet, Lucky. And I don't consider your deed as over-reacting since Pets are animals as well. I was really hurt on hearing about your cat. How could anyone be so much cruel. Being a pet-owner, I could never even think of such cruelty. I hope Oliver gets back to health really soon. You have done a nice deed and this is not over-reacting, I guess. You will be rewarded one day. Give my "Get Well Soon" to Oliver.

I would of done the same thing as you did. He had no right to kick your cat let alone into a bucket of used oil. I know how hard it is too clean out of a cat. As well sorry to hear about the injuries Oliver had to endure because of this piece of S&$^ a-hole. Animal cruelity doesn't fly with me and honestly if that were my cat that guy is actually lucky to be walking right now. I sure would of broke his legs. No one touches my animals but me. Not saying that I beat my animals but I do give my pets a little smack. Which is always in playing fun.

How terribly awful. I'm so so sorry. I'm glad Oliver will be OK. What a horrible person. Don't allow him on your property again. He should do jail time. You probably over reacted a bit, but I don't blame you. I would have been hysterical, Poor poor Oliver and poor you. I can't get over how terrible that is. I now know why I ask when I have workers if they are OK with cats. Everyone who has worked here has at least tolerated my cat. My Rainbow Angel Divot used to inspect tool boxes and help plumbers. He adored plumbers. I have no idea why.

I am not sure if you over-reacted, I may have done the same thing as you. You should have had the SOB arrested for animal cruelty. That is just ridiculous what he did! I am happy that the cat will be okay after some time

That is very sad. I am not sure what I would have done, I wish I could tell you the same but maybe I would have scream a lot. I hope that your kitty and you recovered soon.

Geezzz. If I were you, I will report him to SPCA, and FIRE him. Take his photo and label him as an animal abuser and circulate him around the internet.But I think you shouldn't kick him. Don't know he will take legal actions or not. HMM..but anyway, I hope poor Oliver is ok now.

What a horrible man! I don't think you overreacted in the slightest. There is no excuse for his behavior and Oliver did not deserve it at all. What sort of upbringing did that man have? What sort of human being would think it's alright just to kick an animal "in one's way." I don't think you overreacted at all. Hopefully you taught that man a lesson! It's a shame that Oliver has to go through all the pain. Although he will get better, he didn't deserve to be harmed in the first place. Although I probably would not have kicked the man, I would most definitely make sure that he understood the weight of his actions. I would have nearly screamed my head off at him. You should contact his employer (if he has one) and ensure that he is fired or reprimanded for his actions. It's a business' job to make sure the customers are happy, anyway.

Oh I hate cruelty to animals, what a horrible person he is, I would never allow this person to come on to my property again, I think when people do this sort of thing to an animal they should be charged just as they would if they did that to a child....

Trust me gal, he's lucky that I wasn't there for I don't care who's cat it was for if I had seen him or anyone else for that matter, abuse an animal, there's no stopping what I'd do to the scum bag be it male or female!! NO ONE hurts an animal in any way shape or form and gets away with it!! Oh HELL NO!!

Oh,what's the pity for your cat!Why this worker treated your cat so cruelty?I think i will have the same reaction with you if i meet this thing.Hope your cat will curely soon.

I like all animals, but I'm a dog person myself. I can't believe that he did that to your cat, was the cat bothering him or what? Theres no excuse anyway, for his behavior, and I probably would of done the same thing you did. I hope your cat is doing alright...

OMG, i can't imagine someone kicking my cat i would have been upset to, but i probably would have just told him to get out and might have called the animal cops on them animal cruelty is illegal in some states that was not right for that person to have kicked your cat, i love my cat and i understand your anger, what made that person think they had the right to do that if they were afraid they should have just asked you to remove your cat from the room, but it sounds like that person was just mean, well, i hope your cat will get better.

What in the world was he thinking, you ought to have his butt arrested, your cat was at home and he had no right to do that. I can't say you did the right thing, because I don't believe in violence. But I certainly would have called the police.
