[QUOTE="buddy, post: 491057, member: 12886"] Lots of kids do mean things to animals impulsively. It is the big picture like you said Malika, just watching out because of the lying (which any kid is gonna do because they dont want to be in trouble, but that shows he knows it is wrong to do) and it speaks to his low frustration tolerance... Q got upset with our cat all the time because he wouldn't come to him like he came to me and if he was making a "mean face" at Q...which for a cat was a nice calm relaxed closing eyes/squinting kind of face. He LOVED that cat, slept on him like a pillow and the cat licked him and went to him all the time, still there were moments he got frustrated and I did supervise and take the cat with me if I was in a different room (he was my buddy anyway, just my best pet ever...a dog in a cat body). Since you have concerns about attachment (low end, just some issues ) and his impulse stuff, anger etc... I think you are right to watch it closely. I know that feeling of oh gosh, is this a one time yuck thing and he will learn his lesson or is this a new huge issue??? I hope it will be just a naughty episode and not a pattern of cruelty to animals. hugs to you.... Buddy [/QUOTE]
