My very first thought, what did the kid do to the cat?

u/zeke235 May 27 '24
If it was a dog, I'd immediately assume the kid did something. With a cat, it could've been that she didn't like his face, so she smacked it.

Shoulda had a different face

Exactly, that's what I keep telling these people, yet nobody ever listens to me

Aww I hope Pickles finds her perfect childfree home. My cat hates children but luckily our nieces have their own cat to love so they don’t try to pet her.

I didn't realise my cat hated children until my friend came to visit with her daughter. They have pets, so she knew how to behave. My cat didn't give her a chance and ran and hid under my bed until they left!

Cats dont hate children. They hate children who dont know boundaries and treat cats like dogs. One of my cousin have dog in their house and she treated my cat like one and my cat hates my cousin.
One other cousin doesnt have pets, but i taught him how to treat cats with respect and boundaries and my cat tolerate him petting even.

My cat unfortunately hates my eldest niece because she’s loud and there’s nothing my cat hates worse than loud noises. Garbage truck? Enemy. Thunder? Enemy. Niece laughing or shrieking? Enemy. She’s a great kid but my cat just plain won’t accept her even though she’s very nice to her own cat, she’s just a grouch lol

u/CircaInfinity May 27 '24
Yeah my cat can’t stand loud noises so my SIL little siblings are intolerable to him.

Some cats absolutely do not do well around even the most polite, unhandsy kids. My old girl Pandora followed my little sister (14 at the time) around my apartment smacking the shit out of her when she came to visit back in the day just for shits and giggles. When little sis came back to visit as an adult, Pandora was on her lap the entire time. Pandora just straight-up didn't like squeakers in her lobby.

I have a Siamese who is super social and loves any attention, including me pretending her head is a cheeseburger and playing the Wipeout drum solo a la spankin' da butt. Your cousin could probably be alright with mine lol. I do have to remember that other peoples' cats are likely not weirdos like mine when I visit them haha

That’s not true at all lol acting like you know how all cats act. I’ve seen cats go insane and attack people completely unprovoked. There are cats who are just feral assholes for no reason

u/No_Use_4371 May 29 '24
I've never seen that and I took care of a feral colony. Cats attack out of fear or a threat. They will give affection when they trust you. If a cat "goes insane and attacks people for no reason" it probably has rabies.

Damn, it’s almost like a child is a mini version of a human that is less intelligent. I know that is the parent job to teach the child, but still.

Parents need to teach their issue about respecting boundaries. If they don’t, f*ckin’ Pickles 🥒 will.

Yeah-Kids can spoil just about anything. Chin up Pickles. That was not your forever family. Your forever people will be there soon you beautiful boy!

u/Feisty_Reason_6870 May 27 '24
r/legalcats and what did this human menace do? Pickles might prefer tamed adults. Or pickles might want to play with trimmed nails. Pickles is a redeemable Void! Chin scritches from me! Love you pickles. Call an attorney at no cost if you feel the need.

I have a black lab mix named Pickles, I would love to have a black cat named Pickles too! Even if she does get a little scratchy sometimes.

Our boy was a starving stray who liked to rob food vendors. They beat him. He decided he’d get in the action too and attacked them with great fury, got em good. He did that repeatedly evidently, they couldn’t catch him for a while. He was feared. His shelter cage had warnings plastered all over it. He just wanted food wtf. Edit: he loves kids, they’re more tender.

We have 7 cats...and one looks exactly like Pickles. All came from shelters. None of them would "assault" a child. They are timid and hide when other people come over. Only one of our cats would react by trying to scratch; but only if the offender was not heeding the hissing, chasing him, trying to pick him up...basically asking to be scratched. Team Pickles...

As the mom of human children and a Pickle cat, I am confident in saying the child probably deserved it 🤷🏻♀️

Pickles was well with in her right. Sources say that kid had it coming. Plus my cat, who also tries to attack small children, can vouch for Pickles.

Some cats when there put in shelters are usually around adults and kids scare a cat sometimes it just happens there's no training for this in shelters that's why shelters fail to say not good with children that would help with adoption

u/Ok-Caterpillar-3079 May 27 '24
The kid Probably had it coming, she most likely need an older family.

u/really4got May 27 '24
My mom’s current cat started out as a kitten who grew up to not really like kids, or especially other cats… he’s happy as can be as an only cat with one person and an elderly blind dog… he even catches mice and leaves the bodies on the dogs crate to “help” feed her…

Pickles has my cat beat, my cat only tried to kidnap a child, not assault one

Probably better they found out she doesnt like kids when they did. Eliminates the return process and the hardship in parting from a new found attachment to the pet can bring in that situation.

u/Tinamacht May 28 '24
Children can be totally clueless what comes to how to deal with an animal who does not have the same sensibilities that they do, or are lacking. I feel sorry for pickles who now has a bad reputation and she doesn’t deserve it.

Did Pickles assault the child, or defend herself when the child assaulted Pickles?

She was teaching the child a valuable lesson: Don’t provoke, startle, manhandle, or otherwise harm a cat! No remorse needed!

u/AggressiveDistrict82 May 28 '24
Pickles is just making sure she goes to a kid free home! Can’t blame her at all

My orange tabby ragdoll that died recently didn't like children because we fostered three children and I was a senior in high school and they would shove them in the litter box by his tail and pull out his fur by handfuls I had never whooped the kids ass that bad

I am sadly really allergic to cats, don't think much of kids either. I would adopt the hell out of this cat!

Be glad you don’t live in my state because you would be legally responsible for whatever your horrid cat did.
