I'm the proud mommy of two gorgeous, amazing cats! Also three cute little hamsters. I admit, I've spanked my cat's rumps more than once. And cuddled them and said sorry almost every time (It's a you had to be there, thing) But I've never hurt them! At least, intentionally (What, you've never accidentally kicked your cat?!) Anyway, I see poor, sad, lonely cat's, and dogs and the street without a home, or a family. And I always just want to pick them up and bring them home. How can anyone do that to the animal unless it naturally wants to be an outdoor cat. I see the PETA commercials (I don't support them by any means necessary though) and the Humane Society commercials and I always cry. I always ask my SO, "Baby, how can anyone do that to an animal?" We both get up, grab my kitties, and snuggle them and don't let them go. I would hold my hamsters but they're little assholes and bite, haha- at least 2/3 do. But, I always look at my little Smokey, or Momma and always tell them how cute they are, or how much I love them. Now, there was once where I did something really fucked up. I have zero tolerance for many things. Including animals and babies. But, I can control myself with animals more. But, my cat was spraying everywhere at one point and I got so fed up, I used him to clean his own spray. Now, don't get me wrong, I felt terrible. But this is why I'm never being a mother :)  But anyway, alot of my friends have animals, and I've never seen anyone of them hit their animals in an abusive manner. I love puppies and kitties the most though. A cute little poofy kitten, or a tiny little fish-eyed puppy. Come on, that equals mush to me! I pamper my animals. My cats get more love than I think they want haha. And I always buy them new toys, plenty of food, and I'm always playing with them. (The kitten more-so) I'm actually looking at him right now, and he's all little (well... sort of) and fat, and licking himself all cutely (:  I just think to myself, how would someone ever be able to hurt him?! Plus, the two cats fight enough between them selves to be a punishment if they ever do anything bad. Though, momma gets her ass whooped (:

So, the gist is... don't hurt your animals. And if you know someone who's doing it. Call a local ASPCA right away and save that poor animals. They have feelings, emotions, and a heart just like us. If someone hurts them... they know it and feel it. If you think to yourself, "Man, I never want to have to go through that." Well, my friend. Neither do they.
