"Yep, Mom should’ve broken that up and swatted the cat long before it got that far. "

The cat isn't the one she should have swatted.

Catherine,

The kid did NOTHING wrong. He was being attacked by the cat.

His mom should have swatted the cat.

Since the mom was not protecting her son, the boy did what he needed to to protect himself. The cat needed the punch in the head it got.
