Teresa Barker, left, with her boyfriend Lee Palmer and their 8-month-old son, Jesse. The baby pulled the family cat's tail Sunday, which seriously upset the cat to the point the family had to call 911 for help

I got some ‘therapy’ for it. It’s called a .410 PDX1 shell.
It’ll catch him even if he anticipates and tries to jump....

OREGON...another liberal nuthouse.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We know who the pussy in the house is.

And it ain't the feline.

[Timber Rattler]

Here's the only therapy that cat needs...

These people are just idiots who have no idea how to care for an animal.

And animals know it.

[EBH]

I wonder if the cat’s tail is dislocated or has a spinal injury of some sort?

A good vet would check that out as well. The cat reacted to a perceived threat to its safety.

I suppose that under ‘Obamacare for Pets’, he’s eligible for subsidies...

[Lazamataz]

Teresa, you do not have a boyfriend. You have a girlfriend.

[Himyar]

Obviously the cat has his owners number. Most cats react badly when someone pulls their tail. Kitty needs a home with competent people.

[Dr. Ursus]

Obviously, Jesse is the only male in the house.

The best therapy for that cat would be a hot lead injection.

Cat be taken to a Chinese Restaurant as a main course.

[Alex Murphy]

I can think of one way to rehabilitate that cat...

“We're not getting rid of him right now,” said owner Lee Palmer. “He's been part of our family for a long time.”

You're not big on protecting your family, are you, girlyman?

[BuffaloJack]

If the cat’s owner kicked him, like he said he did, then there is probably a history of animal abuse.
My own grandson pulls our cat’s tail and only once has our Maine Coon cat ever scratched him, and then I don’t think it was intentional. The cat usually softpaw whacks him 2 or 3 times and then skulks off to seek privacy. Our cat is the same size (22#) as this one and even softpawing will sometimes leave a slight scratch, just because the claws are 3/4-inch long and sharp and stick out a little even when not retracted. From the photo, the kitty looks like a typical Maine Coon, and they are renown for being calm and docile. (Of course if giving a bath, all bets are off and there will be blood.)

First world problem.

[Uncle Chip]

We know who needs therapy here and it’s not the cat.

[Starstruck]

My daughter has a cat although not this large. The cat is laid back and all four of the grandkids learned the limits of what the cat would allow with minor scratches.
By the way, yesterday when Shepherd Smith was reporting this he said the guy that made the 911 call was a ...........well a type of cat. That is really bad when Shepherd Smith calls you out as a pu$$y.

These people are too stupid to have a kitteh, any kitteh.
The people need therapy, the kitteh was just being himself.
