I just stepped on my cat. Does that make me a bad person?

No, what you did to that poor dog makes you a bad person...

If you did it on purpose, yes. If not, and if you felt sufficiently guilty when they screeched and ran limping away, then no.

no, unless you did it on purpose!!!!???

Was it an accident or are you a frickin' butt-hole?

i have three cats and i love them all

Only if you did it on purpose. I've just about killed myself zillions of times in my lifetime trying to avoid stepping on various cats that have lived with me. They have diplomatic immunity, you know.

Poor puddy tat

I hope your kitty bit your big toe!>

Did you do it on purpose? If so, you are not a bad person (necissarily) but you did a bad thing.

If it was an accident, you're not a bad person, but you should still apologize to Mr. Kitty. Just because he steps on you doesn't mean you can step on him. You outweigh him by about 100lbs I'm sure.

Nice survey

No, cats deliberately walk under your feet to shock you/trip you up/make you feel bad and give them treats. Mine does it every day; he even runs to intercept me, kamikaze-style.

He gets his own back if I step on his tail (he does a windshield wiper thing with it across the floor so you can hardly avoid it) by waiting until I am asleep in bed and walking over my boobs.

Boobs My cat will come up to me and want to get loving at the most awkward moments for me. Like I'll be making out with my girlfriend and it'll come up to me and be like "meow, pet me pet me". But that's fine with me because my three cats are all cuties

Jealousy among the cats! My husband had our cat, Bert, before he met me. We instantly liked each other, but when I actually moved here and was sleeping in Bert's side of the bed permanently, he got a bit miffed and used to bite my feet in the middle of the night! Now he knows which side his bread's buttered (i.e. which parent is the biggest suck) and leaves the feet unmolested!

He seems to have some attraction to boobs though, he doesn't realise it hurts! Think about it: one front paw each boob, that's a quarter his body weight on each; about one inch square per paw (he has really small feet for a big cat) That's four pounds per square inch pressure. No wonder it fudging hurts!!!

See his picture! http://ca.y42.photos.yahoo.com/bc/miaowdesignworks/lst?.dir=/Pets&.view=t

did you intentionally step on your cat?

boy cats tend to have sharper claws...does your cat chase deer as well?

It depends. Did you do ito n purpose? If it was an accident, and if you were not wearing heavy shoes, then it is okay.

Our cat (Ivy) bites our legs or feet through the blankets if we move around when she's comfortable. It's really funny!! It's like she gets really pissed off and is trying to tell us to keep still. As far as walking on boobs goes, the worst is when they step directly on a nipple. Ouch!!

My cat does that 2.

I slammed a window pane down on my cat's tail once. A piece of fluff was stuck in the window afterwards. The window was stuck, and the cat was in it, and I assume he'd get out of the way. The look on his face afterwards made me feel like dirt for a week. He did forgive me eventually.

I thought it was cos Bert was so used to living with a bachelor, he didn't know what boobs were. Then when some came along, didn't know any different, but then when he stumbled upon them, he liked how it felt and did it all the more just for fun!

He's just like a guy....

Yes. You punish yourself.

hehehe.

If you did it deliberately, I would have my doubts about you. I have a problem with people who mistreat animals or children.

LOL That sounds about right!

Only if you did it on purpose. I hate cats, but I don't like seeing anything hurt. It's better to kill them quickly.

No. But the cat will make you feel very guilty until about 10 minutes pass. Then it's all lovin' for you, babe!

What a cutie

You may think so; my bruised boobs don't!!!

lol

Depends. Hope ya didn't stomp it on purpose. If it was accidental it's ok. Just put a bell on your cat's collar so you hear them before you tread on them. Such tiny little bones break so easily. There really are folks out there that mistreat cats on purpose. I bought Merlin (my coal-black shorthair) on Halloween. The breeder almost didn't want to sell him as he'd heard of sick people purchasing black cats on Halloween and doing terrible things to them. Hope your puddy tat is ok!
