I think the broom scared the cat... when it bashes around, it flinched a lot.

u/Lamplorde Jan 23 '25
I honestly dont get what the dude is trying to do with the broom. Torture the mouse and cat? Mouse is stuck and cant go anywhere, and youre just pushing it around with the broom, but you aint killing it. At least, not immediately, might be causing some internal damage...But thats fucked up, dude.

Doesn't matter, especially if it's just one. Doing this stupid shit willl just panic them enough to try and bite you. Stick a dark container along the corner and shoo them into it, stick a lid on it and take them outside as opposed to trying smash it like a caveman, breaking shit and making a mess. I worked on a farm for 8 years, lots of rodents in the house, its not hard...

u/Copatus Jan 23 '25
Most people just panic so they do stupid shit like this.
The best way to deal with it is just let it be (or calmly shoo it away for now) and then set up a trap. They'll be back at night when you're not in the room.

u/Amazing_Low_3213 Jan 24 '25
I relocate mice/rats from my shed every summer and I can’t fathom how people treat them like this!!
I understand the concern for disease, but they’re easy to catch with live traps to be let out a few kilometres down the road as apposed to being slowly bludgeoned to death by a caveman with a bristly stick :( You nailed it: they’re not going to bite you unless you give them reason to. I wish people would sit and have a think sometimes

I'm a pest control technician and let me tell you my job is just being paid 40$ a hour just to be braver then the person who called me. People get so caught up with ignorance and lies that they show more bravery in the face of death then they do to something 400× smaller then them. Makes you wonder if we really are an apex predator

He ain't getting rid of that rat if there is no place for him to escape, nor is the broom with weak bristles gonna be helpful to dispatch the rat in a less stressful way

This makes me sad. Pretty sure the cat is worried it’ll be hurt badly. I don’t hurt things or terrorize them for a laugh, I can’t imagine a trapped innocent animal being funny. I’m sorry if someone hurt you and laughed, or if you saw people hurt animals or other innocents and laugh. I’m sorry pain is funny for you. I wish you a safer future.

u/Mimi_1981 Jan 23 '25
You are absolutely correct. Many people in this sub are so unempathic, laughing about scared animals, finding sick morbidly obese cats "cute".... It's not normal.

u/yxing Jan 23 '25
Jesus christ redditors are unbearable. I have empathy for the cat, but it's not some kind of moral shortcoming to find this funny. Like you realize there's a huge difference between finding humor in the irony of this natural situation where the cat is scared of a guy freaking out about a rat, and condoning scaring animals on purpose for laughs?
3
u/annapartlow Jan 24 '25
No I totally get what you’re saying, and I’m not someone that can’t laugh at so so many of the same things you might. Maybe it’s because I have a kitten right now, or there’s a stray out in the cold I worry about, some shit, that is making me extra empathetic about this cat’s face as he hugs that door. Hormones. Something. It’s a little bit of a pet peeve for me when people are like “let’s do this thing to this cat and get views!” And it’s some messed up thing. I get that this isn’t that. I get why you’re irritated with my response and my intention certainly wasn’t to create a polarizing situation, no one needs more of that shit. Yes redditors are unbearable, yeah the rat and the broom and the cat are probably funny to most. He looks scared to me and I thought of my cat that was beaten by a broom before I got him, then my brain went all turbo on likely scenarios where cats might be mistreated and probably are this second. No way meant to spoil your fun or be a bleeding heart, for sure. All in good fun.

u/flannelNcorduroy Jan 23 '25
I thought it kind funny at first until I realized the cat was afraid of the dude with the broom. We could all work on becoming MORE empathetic, rather than less. The whole damn world is becoming less empathetic. I vow to become softer, not harder.

Yea, you're really stupid.
I'll keep this short. The point is that the cat is terrified of something that can not harm it, for which it is literally the natural predator. It's ridiculous, and the cat is afraid of nothing. It is in no actual danger.

u/MistbornInterrobang Jan 23 '25
That cat isn't scared of the rat. He's scared of the guy swinging a broom around and knocking into shit. He likely never even saw the rat. Look at the way he flinches when the guy shoves the broom at the wall beneath him. He has nowhere to hide and is scared.

u/flannelNcorduroy Jan 23 '25
For a cat? Yes!
Story time about my cat: I had a cat get a plastic bag wrapped around her body out of her own dumb curiosity, and took off running. Her brother she was very close to (always slept together) chased her because of the bag or because he was worried about his sister. She pissed everywhere. Everyone in the house (3 adults) chased her until we caught her. After we got that bag off her she was never the same. She was never in any danger, it wasn't wrapped around her neck, or covering her face. Never slept near her brother again, and was very stand-offish with him for the rest of their lives, it was really sad. She also was afraid of the sound of plastic bags.
They're not even humans. They have little primitive brains based around survival. That cat will likely be afraid of brooms and maybe men or men who who look like him after this. That's how trauma works. It imprints on the brain, and if you learn anything from avoiding danger, you will carry a traumatic wound in order to learn that. Sometimes the brain makes unnecessary connections that aren't valuable.

Bro, I got a stupid cat that fell in the bathtub and struggled for a minute or two until I got there. He was clearly unhappy as you can imagine.
What do you think happened in a week? Dumbass still tried to walk around the bathtub and inspect the water and got upset when I did not let him.
He still fell one or two times after, but while I was in the tub so he just had a mild inconvenience.
Not all cats traumatize that easily. They aren't supposed to be that easily traumatized too.

u/flannelNcorduroy Jan 23 '25
No shit. Your cat was dumb, or was smart enough to know he wasn't in actual danger. Hell, just gut biome can change how you react in these situations.
Can you still find empathy for the cat I the op? Or are you protecting your snowflake constitution by pretending he is definitely fine?
