Bit hard to read the comments backwards, lol!  I decided to go to the first (last) page to read the comments and this really made me mad.

have a cat called Kuki. Iva had him for 10 years now and I consider it to be part of my family. One day, the cat scratched my mother. There were some very deep cuts, and my mother was left scarred because of it.

I ended up literally kicking the cat out the house and locking it out the house for 3 days. For 3 days the cat was begging to come back, but I just didnt let it.

After 3 days, I let the cat back in. Its been 4 years now and the cat has been great!

Is that animal cruelty?

Just had a quick look at some of them and I see we have the old chestnut again about cats decimating the bird/wildlife population conveniently forgetting the effect that we humans have on their habitats which decreases the population far more than cats do  >:(

I think a lot of the answers on there are like the ones on yahoo answers, Jack the lads & silly cows who think they are clever and funny.

I see the one that said he kicked the cat backpedalled and said it was more of a nudge when he realised that people didn't think he was very amusing  :evillaugh:
