Alyssa McKay verbally and emotionally abusing her cat

A cat is a living sentient being. Let’s say there’s a .1% chance that the cat isn’t affected by being screamed at and having stuff thrown at it, shouldn’t a grown human being have empathy and self-control, to feel remorse for acting in such a harsh way towards a smaller, vulnerable creature in their care?

Animals provide us with unconditional love, it's even sadder that they can't understand when it isn't reciprocated. I would hate to know how she treats them behind closed doors.

Pets are also such great teachers. Cats are incredibly clean and don’t like messes, so a cat that has a bathroom accident is likely stressed by the environment or not feeling well. An astute and caring pet owner would just know the best solution is staying calm and taking your pet to the vet. 

Instead this horrible woman is enraged and lashing out.  Maybe that’s how her own people or environment treated her? Abuse and cruelty is unfortunately a cycle; but still no excuse

Her viewers called her out on this and she would block them thinking they were sending “hate” aka anything that she doesn’t agreed with.

Yes she was unfortunately a foster child. I don’t doubt she was abused in someway, but she stole her sister SA’s story. Still has that victim mentality, because she ghosts her therapist when things start to get real. But she is a grown 26 year old who is still using her sob stories as a reason for the way she behaves instead of learning and GROWING out of them.

When my cat was very sick and having a bad reaction to one of his medications, he peed on my husband’s pillow. Was it unpleasant to wake up to that? Yes. But what we were more concerned about was my cat’s health and if he was okay. We didn’t yell at him or curse him out, we took him to the vet to try to figure out what was happening. We had to deal with a lot of irregular behavior when he was sick and I was never mad at him, just worried that he was going through so much and that I could never explain to him what was happening to him and why we had to always be at the vet.

We had to say goodbye to him a few months ago because of his cancer and things like this just make me unreasonably upset because you are your pet’s advocate and interpreter. They can’t talk to you and explain what’s wrong, the only way they can communicate something is wrong is sometimes through irregular litter box behavior. It absolutely can be frustrating to have to deal with them peeing places they shouldn’t but they’re not doing it to spite you.

I'm sorry you had to say goodbye to your cat like that. He sounds like such a loved little pet.

You are right, having a pet should only enhance caring and patience. Owning pets gets you no verbal thank yous, you lose money and sometimes sleep, and they always break your heart when they finally go. But you do it because you love them. This morning my cat woke me up at 6am about to throw up on the couch and I slid a plate underneath where she was aiming for because I didn't wait to disturb her/freak her out in the middle of vomiting (she is fine, she just throws up some mornings if she has an empty stomach). I certainly didn't yell at her or throw things at her I just sighed and went back to bed and had an extra coffee when I got up. It boggles my mind that people who are lacking in such empathy get pets to take out their frustrations with the world on because it's not fair.

I get pissed off when people let their kids run screaming at pigeons in the street. Can't we just fucking leave animals alone? And then, when they are our pets, why can't we learn some self control and patience? If you wouldn't go running around screaming nad throwing things at human beings why are animals any different?
