A woman who confronted a child who poured water on her cat caused a heated discussion on social media. It’s not enough to say that pet owners tend to be protective of their animals. It makes sense since many people treat them like family. People are talking about X because of a woman who got back at someone too far. Shannon Cooper from Edinburgh, Scotland, talked about what she did when she found out that her neighbor had soaked her cat in water.
She wrote on X in 2020, “My 10-year-old neighbor just threw a cup of water over my cat who was sitting on the fence doing nothing. I laughed and threw a basin of water over him from the window. Now his dad is at my door going crazy, but I don’t see the problem, don’t touch my cat.” Unfortunately, the tweet has since been deleted.
Some people on social media were quick to support what she did, while others were quick to criticize her. “The way you dealt with it was very childish. You should have told the parents first so that they could punish their own child…” “Like, no, that wouldn’t hurt a child, but as a parent, I’d like to hold my child accountable” one person wrote. “Those who support this clearly haven’t been around kids and don’t understand the changes they are still going through.” More than one person said, “The child is still growing and learning about consequences.” “Oh, screw it. It’s unclear whether this was written to be funny or not. Was the child incorrect? Yes. But what about you? “You’re not a child,” said a third.
Public Backs Woman’s Lesson
However, a lot of people supported her actions and said she was right to teach the child a lesson. One person wrote, “It’s a good lesson for him to learn not to bother animals.” “If you’ve ever had a child, one of the first things you teach them is to respect all living things, kids included. Some water wouldn’t hurt my kid if he didn’t pay attention to my lessons on this (which he never did),” wrote a third.
Cooper even gave an update when he saw that some people were really upset about the conversation. She said that they didn’t have any bad feelings toward each other in the end. “Everyone is so mad about this. The kid and his dad were laughing about it today. We’re friends, and the dad was mad because he didn’t know what his son did. Also, the kid is 13 but looks like he’s 10 lol.”
