My family has a lot of pets (they take care of them) and I asked for a cat. Woo, I have a cat yipee...
Long story short, he pisses me off. I was thinking, hey this is like a kid. He's just a few months old and I can't stand him. If he dies people would know I'm not nurturing, but he's doing fine. We step into the discipline. When he's too crazy and I want to play online games, I put him in the closet and he goes crazy in there for several minutes then sleeps.

My dad treats me, ehh not so good. He just does what he can to make me do what he wants me to do. So my question is, what does my dad treating me bad related to me treating my cat bad have to do with how I'll treat my kids when I have them?

This is a very upsetting post, so I hope you are being serious and not just trolling for attention.

It's generally agreed that people who abuse or neglect animals often grow up to abuse or neglect people.

It says something that you are unable to feel empathy for the cat - how would you feel if someone locked you in a closet because they couldn't be bothered with you? (Or is this something that has already happened to you?)

If you don't want your cat anymore, find someone who will adopt it and give it the love and care it needs.

I don't know exactly what you mean when you say your dad doesn't treat you so good, but if he is truly abusive, there are organizations you can go to. They can find places for you that offer you support as well, so you can maybe learn to be more empathetic towards others and have positive, healthy relationships ad maybe be a good parent, if that's what you want.

The way our parents treat us influence our behavior, but ultimately, we have control over our actions, which means that there is never an excuse for being abusive or neglectful.

It is very good that you recognize that there might be something wrong with this behavior.

Thanks for your reply.
I was taught not to show emotion or empathize but I love my cat he sleeps on my back I play with him and all that. I don't know though he just bugs me sometimes. Showing emotion means you care enough to act on it. I just can't grasp the thought of me being abusive like my dad. First of all I'm a pacifist, I hit my friend once cause he was calling me a pussy but we play fight. I just couldn't look at him when I hit him.

There are ways to express emotion that aren't self destructive. Everyone gets angered by people (and pets). The trick is learning how to deal with your anger in a way that is acceptable and not harmful to anyone else. In fact, sometimes anger can be a good thing because it can spur you to change things for the better. (Think of political protesters, for example.)

Your cat might be misbehaving and need discipline (like your future children would). Disciplining is not the same as abusing. You need to learn the difference.

Thanks, I'll look into it.
