That the risk you take with an outdoor cat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.
I used to have an outdoor cat and if that happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him not to go there again.
That's the risk you take with an outdoor brat. It's not even like water is harmful to it.

Both takes are 100% correct
I mean... yeah
Oh my god i wrote mine after you wrote yours.
Yours is way better. Kudos.
What're you in The Bloods, you can't say cat? C'mon 5, what's brackin'?
What are you saying?
Never talked to any gang members huh?
Well, the joke is that Bloods can't say things beginning with the letter C, like "Cat," and the above comment repeatedly used "brat" to replace "cat" as would be done by a Blood. For instance, they don't say "cracking," they'll replace the C, making it "bracking." Crips will do the reverse, saying C where there once was a B. Yes it's ridiculous, but that's what they do, and the joke requires knowledge of this to understand. They also have numbers ascribed to their gangs, 5 is bloods, 6 is crips, so "what's brackin' 5" would be something said by some Damu out there to another (a Damu being a member of the bloods, damu means blood in Swahili iirc, and tbf he'd actually say "what's poppin 5" instead but brackin' was necessary for the joke.)
Yes it is silly. Now enjoy my favorite old Blood music video from the 47 Miller Gang, If U Blood Throw It Up
"Nobody got hurt, just LET ASSHOLE BE ASSHOLES! MUH FREEDUMS!"
Nah, I'm a firm believer in 'Fuck around and Find out'
It's the risk you take letting your kid go outside. It's not even like water is harmful to it.
I used to have a kid that went outside and if thst happened I would have shrugged it off and expected him to not go there anymore.
Well someone might just hit your car, that's the risk you take by driving, nobody got hurt, they shouldn't be held accountable. I would have shrugged it off and started taking the bus.
This is fun, we can remove all accountability from everything that's not harming someone directly!
Well, you don't have to let your cat go outside. In fact is kind of reckless to do so.
Well, you don't have to drive it's kind of reckless to do that too.
It’s cruelty. Can we chuck water over you?
I think calling a splash of water from some dumb child "cruelty" delegitimizes actual cruelty. It's shit behavior for sure, but don't compare it to someone who tortures animals for fun.
They didn't compare it. You are putting words in peoples mouths now.
Only if I am walking on your fence
But why is it a problem if it’s not doing you any harm?
I am not saying it's something you should do if someone walks on peoples fences.
You are by elimination
