Like, I agree with the tit for tat. But don't let your cat outside.

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.

"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.

That the risk you take

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!

We've a lot of cats coming through the garden. I wouldn't mind if not for my dog, who does and goes insane when she spots a cat. So I've been thinking about getting a super soaker to chase them away. I think that's pretty harmless, and perhaps they learn to skip our garden after a while... What do you lot think?

I think they taunt you by shitting in your flowerbeds while you're not looking.

Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

It is assault, though.

Kid acted maliciously towards the cat. It's not like the kid accidentally knocked a bottle of water and some of it splashed the cat. No. There was a conscious decision to torment the cat by deliberately throwing water over it.

Punishment fits the crime here.
