My dad + our cat = disaster

[Jack_O'Neill_fan]

I need a bit of help. We own a cat who's at least 14 years old. My dad and he don't really get along too well. At least my dad doesn't get along with our cat. My dad tends to get mad at the closest thing near him, which, usually is our cat. I don't like this behavior, but my dad is the ruler, so to say, of our household, and I don't want to contradict him, but I'm afraid that our cat will get hurt someday. What should I do?!?!? Help please???

Get another cat.

That way, there's only a 50/50 chance that your original cat will get hit.

[Jack_O'Neill_fan]

LOL! Like that'll ever happen!

no mapp.....
does he actually hit it, or is he just yelling at it?

[Jack_O'Neill_fan]

He tends to kick it across the room into hard things, while swearing.

uh, apart from giving the cat away, I can't think of much. You could always hide the cat whenever your dad is home, eg, put it in your room or keep it out of his sight.

What should I do?!?!?

call the shrink

[tombombadil]

dude......i'd just give the cat away, what he's done already can be considered animal cruelty....

Grow a pair and tell him to stop it. Animal cruelty is wrong no matter who's house it's in.

Have you tried talking to him... maybe come to a deal or compromise with him.

I don't like cats but dam... kicking it across the room. That's just mean.

Your Father needs to get proper help asap before he :
a.kills or maims the cat.
b.starts on you and your other relatives.

To be blunt:don't rehome the cat .Your Father is the problem.If he can't or won't change ,then get outside support .

None of you need or deserve to live in fear ,but the longer you delay getting help ,the worse the results are going to be for yourselves and the poor maltreated cat !
