Might have been wiser
It wasn;t like it was a wild swinging haymaker, or a prolongued beating, which I agree would have been cruel. And it was never hard enough to break bones either. I could have clonked it one in the face. But anyway, I don;t regret my actions in the slightest. It was a short, sharp shock administered to its side, which will hopefully put it off trying to get in my house again. I;d do the same again.

I found a cat in one of the kids bedrooms when they were babies - and chased it out the window - I would certainly have given it a kick up the arse had I got near it.
Not a violent kick like - more a nudge with my foot. For the record.

I think you did the right thing Easy. Cat owners simply do not take responsibility for their pets and the collateral damage they cause - most are in some sort of denial. You should not have to go to the expense and inconvenience of barring your windows because of a selfish cat owner. If you had a mouse or rat problem you would simply terminate them, do the same for the cat.

So as a result of evolution and intelligence, humans should watch their pets being eaten by unatural predators without intervening?
Congratulations on your snide gibe there, by the way. I bet your mother is really proud of you
It's snide not to suggest that someone who doesn't understand the difference between a human punching a cat and a cat attacking may not be completely clued up about the whole evolutionary processs. Obviously i was wrong as only a man of vast intellect and learning would use a thumbs up and bring someone's mum into the argument

Is kicking a cat worse than punching it?

I agree to an extent. The thing is with cats, its probably the only pet where its owner is not in a position to exercise any control over it. Once someone lets their cat out, it is free to piss where it wants, shit where it wants, hunt where it it wants, kill what it wants, while its owner is completely oblivious and under no obligation to do anything about it. In effect, cats are still semi-wild and take minimal \"looking after\", which is why they are so popular I suppose.
Therefore, if a cat is causing a nuisence in some way on someone elses property, then within reason, people have the right to discipline it. Quite a few on here think I overstepped the mark by hitting it. But bearing in mind this was the 2nd time it had got into my house, I think I was within my rights to take harsher action to get rid of it and hopefully frighten it away permanently.

sorry thats illegal...............and if he had a mouse or rat problem I would think he might welcome a cat with open arms.
must agree with you about some cat owners they are irresponsible twats who should never be allowed to go near any animal and it is they who should be terminated.....please don't blame any animal for its behavior if its the owner who is at fault.
cats by law are classed as semi-wild animals
??and are by that fact allowed to roam anywhere and like all animals now are protected by law ....................the owners are NOT.
simple answer to all of this is to by law microchip all pets so when lost can be found and when causing trouble the owner can be found.
ask your vet about microchipping your pets including birds.

easy 10, keep a catapult and some 'u' nails on the arm of your chair or sofa and shoot the twat when it gets half in/half out of your window, or, prop your window open with a stick with a piece of string attached to it and ensure it reaches to where you are sat in your room, when the bugger starts to climb through the window, pull the string, the stick comes out and the window traps the cat. either taunt it by waving your bird in front of its face or let it starve to death.

I've had our dog chipped but not the Cockatiel. If that noisy bastard ever escaped I don't want it returned.
I thought they only lived a couple of years so bought a couple to appease the young'un. You can imagine my joy when I glanced through a book about them and discovered they lived for 20 f***ing years.

Easy, as per my earlier post, there's stuff that you can get that acts as a cat repellant, stick it on your windowsill job done.
As for all the other shit on this thread, I don't understand how people condone cruelty against some animals but not others. The main culprits seem to be dog owners against cats, but be it cats, dogs or birds they all have a personality and are part of someones family and should be treated how you would expect your own pet to be treated

Yeep I;ll see what I can do Mr Fish.
But its all well and good saying treat all animals nicely, but when someone elses pet keeps trying to eat my pet, direct action is required (a) to stop it happening and (b) to stop it trying again.
Put it this way. If someone was sitting in their living room with their cat at their feet, when all of a sudden, from out of nowhere, someones dog ran into the room and starting savaging their cat in front of them, what action would be reasonable for the cat owner to take against the dog ?
Throw some WATER on it ?

I know what you mean, I suppose it's just a case of reasonable force. I was takling more about people who seem to have a vendetta against cirtain animals

Seems a bit nobby to start a thread like you have tbh. Did you really seriously think everyone would 'down' with smackin the crap out of a cat?

Well I was actually on NSC at the time when it happened last night, and as it was a fairly unusual incident, I felt it worth reporting. I;ve started threads on far worse drivel than that, as others will testify. Whether people approved of it or not honestly didn;t really cross my mind at the time (maybe I;d have started a poll on it if it had). I;ve probably embellished the incident somewhat anyway, but hey, it was late, I was finishing off a bottle of red, etc.
Smackin the crap out of it is a bit of an exaggeration as well. I only hit the thing once, it wasnt a prolongued beating.

I think you'll find he raped the cat and then cut its leg off.

how do you take responsibility for a cats behaviour? they are predatory animals with a hunting instinct, hense they bring in mice, birds, frogs, or whatever takes their fancy.

Some breeds of dog have been (rightly) banned for doing "whatever takes their fancy". No I am not saying ban cats, but its a bit tough on others to say "Sorry about your two rabbits being strewn over your garden turning the grass red when you got home. I bet that was a bit upsetting. But thats what cats do, never mind eh! At least Tabby had a laugh though!".
