Careful now; the cat cultists will react with more venom and vile than you can imagine if you even joke about hurting their precious felines. More so than they would if it was an innocent human being.
It’s not just about cats, it’s dogs as well. Would it be ok for me to shoot your dog when it runs into my yard and is not threatening me?
‘Cat cultists’ - I like that!
Just as a general observation I’ve long observed that liberals tend to favor cats while conservatives tend to favor dogs.
