@spursandniners: The kid deserved all of that! It isn't the cat's fault he may have to endure that booger everyday for the rest of his sad, miserable, freaking ten or so (or how many years they live) years of his life!! Lol
It's not bout defending the cat. If u have pets and u have kids u should teach your kids that's not how u treat animals. Yes it's a kid. But he got what he had coming.
My cat has done something similar to me. He was on a bad mood and I picked him up. I told him "you're the devil cat". Three seconds later I was screaming because he attacked my face. He knocked my glasses off my face but I got him off before he could go any farther.
Been scratched 2 times I THINK IM WINNING.
