ok, the cat scratched him, and he stomped it to death, in front of a child.
reading this made me think of back right after the andrea yates thing, when all kinds of people were coming out saying how they didn’t condone what she did, but they understood.
don’t worry, i’m not about to piss everyone off here…
i have an evil cat. we got him about seven months ago, when he was very small. he was “rambunctious.” he played very rough. we figured he’d grow out of it. admittedly, he’s still a kitten, but he still plays way too rough. he bites and scratches for no reason at all, attacks my face while i’m sleeping, attacks the kids.
and i would never even consider stomping him to death. especially not in front of the kids.
we are going to have to find him a new home, with a new baby on the way we can’t have a pet that plays so roughly. but i’ve been putting it off because the idea of giving him away breaks my heart. despite his nature, i love him. the kids love him.
anyone who could stomp an animal to death like that is sick. there is no reason, rhyme or excuse. i just wish it was more of a crime than just a misdemeanor.
There’s nothing WRONG, per se, with eating a cat. I do not judge those who eat cats. I would not eat a cat. I love cats. I keep them as pets and find them very affectionate. My father, growing up on farms, did find calves to be very affectionate. They raised their own calves as children and then had to slaughter them (to help them realize how difficult it would be if they maintained attachments to the animals they were raising).
I don’t know where you got ‘there is something wrong with eating cats’ out of my post. Should have been ‘eating cats makes Baby Vennie cry.’
woops, I see what’s happening.
Ok. Osama’s status as psycho in my mind does not equate with ‘kitten-eater’. So, Osama, though he might eat a cat, I consider a psycho, but I do not consider all cat-eaters psycho. I just can’t see him cuddling it.
And ‘I think what Vinnie meant’ was in response to his ‘wearing it as gloves’ comment.

My cousins did the same thing with their kids. Named the calf “Hamburger” so that the kids would understand what was going to happen.
El Kabong, I’ll personally donate the bail money if you want to stop by and pop the sadist.
Actually, that Osama bin-Laden comment WAS . . . . a joke???
I’m going to upset Guinis even more. My late father was a farmer in Wisconsin and told me that every spring the feral cats would produce so many kittens every summer that if they didn’t do something, the entire farm, full of chickens, etc, would be overrun with cats.

So they would drown the kittens in a bucket of water every spring.
I can’t get my head around this story. When people do this kind of thing, don’t they do it while having a psychotic episode, while chemically impaired, or when they are ALONE, out of sight of a society that judges their worth as absolute ZERO?
I am trying to put myself in the scene when it happened, as a customer browsing, or picking up fish food for my daughter. What do I DO when I see this happen, IRL? I think I would have had the same reaction to THIS animal that he had to the kitten: I would’ve probably attempted to stomp him to death. And the only regret I believe I would have felt is that I was too late to save an animal that DID have a right to live.
The power to reason, a sense of morality, and an opposable thumb…with all those advantages over a cat, why couldn’t he have made something out of his life that contributed something MORE valuable than a cat?
It’s okay. My grandmother had to do that a few times when they had cats having constant kittens-she only did it a few times, and always when the kittens were only a few minutes old. My mother said she always cried when she did it, but she knew she had to.
I agree. The savagery of such an act, and the fact that he did it in front of a 12 yr old kid who was getting that very kitten for his birthday, it all points in one direction: That person should not be allowed to live in a society. What would happen if some idiot on the street ran into him and spilled hot coffee all over him. Would he go bezerk on that guy and try to stomp him too? This guy (Timothy Paules)needs to be taken out of the population and either cured or put away for good if they can’t fix him.
Just thought of pointing out that though I agree that this is unbelievably cruel act of “cat stomping”
I must say that I don’t see anything wrong with eating cats, People do eat different type of food in different countries and I for one try out the local food where I go…… and cats are absolutely delicious …………
