I thought I'd go to /b/ for this, but I don't want 'KILL IT' respond. Please hear me out before I go crazy and kill my cat.

I love animals. I love both cats and dogs. When I see them I want to pat them and give them food. I think they're cute, lovely, and honest.

However, recently my boss gave me a cat. My first pet. A cute, sweet cat. She knows how to pee and shit in her box. She doesn't moan or cry. She's a good girl and doesn't bite. But lately she always upset me ( doesn't eat her food but steal out fish, tuna, scratch me when I hold her, though it's just because she's afraid she'd fall) and I always lost myself so easily.

I know animal abused is bad. When I heard about people abusing animals I always feel bad and cursed them. But now I become one of them

At first I just love her scared expression and I'd pretend to hit her (didn't really hit her). But lately when she upset me, though it's not her fault, I'd hit her or throw her. I know it's bad. I do know. I feel bad. But I can't stop it. (she never fight back, just curl up all scared)

I don't want to kill her... What should I do? Maybe give her away?


TL;DR = I love my cat but I can't help beat her up, what do I do?

Give it to somebody who doesn't abuse it before somebody calls the SPCA on you.

There is no such organization where I live. Nobody will give a fuck if I kill her, except, perhaps, my boss.

Give her same food as you to eat.

I torment some of my mom's cats, because at least three of them are assholes on a constant basis and deserve it.

But for OP, give it away. Cats are like the autistic children of the animal world. You never know exactly what will make the flip the fuck out. If you can't handle that, then let them go.

okkkkkkkkk you have anger issues. i think you should give it away, put an ad in the newspaper.... do NOT say free to a good home, because people usually will just abuse the animals. or maybe you can take it to the vet and just leave it there... OR next time your mad at your cat take a spray bottle and spray her with it before your karma gets any worse you disgusting monster. its just a helpless animal.

I don't eat tuna everyday. And the cat wouldn't eat anything but tuna. It's expensive damned it.

OP here, maybe I really can't handle pets. I think I'll just give it away.

as someone who experiences something similar, i feel your pain OP.
not so much anymore but i do occasionally get sudden bursts of rage that even though they only last a few seconds. not sure whatever triggers it but sometimes i might be holding one of my rats, cockatiel or just trying to get the dog outside.
i've never hurt them even though i felt like i wanted too, but all i have to do is look away from them, put them down, or just wait it out.

i know it feels like its hard to not act on it, but really just walking away from your cat when she scratches you could really help. you should realize the more you scare and hurt your cat, the more of a threat she will see you as and she'll only defend herself out fear.

I used to have the same problem OP.
It wasn't that hard to stop...
Have you tried to stop? Maybe release your anger on something else, get a stress ball or something just think about the cat and that she hasn't done anything to you try to feel guilty as possible.
If you cant handle it then yeah just give it away.

Excellent suggestions. Try walking away from her when she's scratching and you're angered and take your anger out on something else.

Before you hurt her next time try to imagine you being a little helpless cat that is being beaten by someone big and strong, without a reason. Imagine how - aside from the physical pain - incredibly sad she is, how she doesn't understand the world anymore because her beloved person is treating her like shit.
If thinking of this doesn't stop you, find her a new home asap.

I work with young adults of whom many have difficulty controlling rage. Try and find a home for your cat and seek an organization like rage-anon(even for a short while you initiate treatment)

http://www.rage-anon.org/

Understand that a lot of people have trouble with controlling those kinds of impulses, but that doesn't give you a free pass. It is your responsibility to yourself and those in your life to work on this. Everyone's got crap they need to work on and your first step is getting out there and finding someone who can help. Maybe Rage-Anon isn't for you, but they might be able to help you find someone who is.

Good start telling someone about this (even if it is just us 4chan schmucks) Your next step should be presenting this same information to someone who has the knowlege and the experience that they can help.

You should probably eat some .50 cal aspirin. Your body will feed her well for quiet some time.

Or stop trolling... wait suggestion one cures that too.

Seriously, return the cat if you can't control your rage.

But if you ever learn to manage your anger and you get another cat, there's a better way to punish it's bad behavior. Use one of these compressed air dusters whenever it scratches you or does something awful. It makes a perfect "cat hiss" noise, so you will be able to clearly express your anger towards the cat without hurting it.

A spray bottle works too, but this way it knows you're pissed at it. I got my cat to stop clawing the dog like this.

Those work well.

The sound, the gust, the smell-- cat's hate those.

Look, I know the OP is doing something awful, but the OP knows it as well.

The OP acknowledged she had a problem, and is trying to find a solution. The OP is NOT a bad person, and according to them is LOVING, just has anger problems.

This is NOT a free ride, the OP does need to take responsibility, but it seems that OP is doing just that by admitting the problem and trying to find a way to stop it.

I have anger issues as well (though i dont hurt my animals, i hurt my loved ones).

So to the rest of the posters saying hte OP is a monster and awful and etc. shutup and try to be constructive.

OP, i'm on your side, but you and your cat need help. You should be proud for at least trying to do the right thing. Now get off your ass and start working on it.

Oh wow thank you. Being in 4chan I don't really feel upset when people call me monster. But I'm not a troll, really.

Another problem here... the cat wouldn't eat anything but canned tuna. If I dont give her canned tuna she wouldn't eat anything at all. I try to mix tuna with rice but she was like, fuck it.

Personally I suspect it's more power/dominanance issues than anger.

OP, you have anger issues. I recommend taking Valium and Prozacs daily. Mix them with some wine and coffee. You'll be fine after that.

I've beaten the living Hell out of many cats. They are hardy and can take it.

Just no weapons or toxins. That's unsportsmanlike.

I'd recommend that you never get a partner, spouse, lover, etc. If you have these sorts of issues with animals, then you will invariably carry them over to people. And I've no doubt you will instinctively pick someone who is vulnerable to these sorts of things, and for the love of whatever you hold dear, stay the fuck away from children.

Essentially, get rid of the animal and check into either a: anger management or b: a traditional martial arts group. And I mean the ultra traditional sort, the ones with the hardcore honour code and the incredibly punishing physical training. This will achieve one of two things: it will either give you a legitimate venue for expressing your sadism and need for control, or else it'll turn you into ticking timebomb ready and able to do some serious damage to someone. And when you do you'll have your arse thrown into gaol and compulsory councilling. Problem solved.

/an/ is so fucking easy to troll.

The blatant cruelty to animals on /an/ and the mention of /b/ should have given it away.

when it does something bad do something that lets your frustration out and teaches your cat no to do it ( like scratching ect) aadn throw some water or somthing at it to show it your boss but not actually beating it up
