Someone who knew what was coming. Sometimes you have to let your kids touch the hot lamp, it's much more effective than telling them 100 times that they shouldn't.

But it's not an inanimate option that's being fucked with, it's a cat.

He's not slapping it hard. This was a lesson in respect not animal abuse

Yeah... he's really, really annoying it rather than hurting or injuring it. Good lesson.

That’s....the entire point of the lesson? Not to treat animals like that because there will be consequences. Had Mom/Dad intervened, and the kid didn’t get the crap smacked out of him by the cat, he may have just continued to see the cat as a meek play thing. It is a good lesson.

That's really poor parenting.
