    interesting thread…have only read a few pages..but I love how OP created said thread to make a statement about people being "argumentative" and then proceeds to argue with everyone that posts in the thread….

    oh the irony...

    mccindy, how about a link to this alledged "Attack"...usually it is someone (you) being too sensitive.



    My guess? It's here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1156847-i-m-really-frustrated-with-how-to-eat-to-lose-fat

    Specifically, where she speaks about lengthening muscles and such.

    Nope.

    It's this:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1157181-help-new-and-need-some-suggestions


    A low carb debate.

    based on OP's advice in that thread, I would say she needs to go back to school…or read some more research…just saying...

    Sorry. I just thought more people would show up if we wrote punch and pie. We didn't actually have any.

    I don't like cats, but I like that kid even less.

    I'm a bigtime cat lover and found that video very disturbing... Yeah, the kid should not have hit the cat but wow cannot allow a cat to attack like that... Must have been an intact tom as they tend to not back down if challenged...

    That video is a great natural consequences lesson. The cat went into fight and then flight. (The cat is turning to run away after hitting the child back.) I don't think anything was "allowed" in that video, for either the child or the cat.

    I agree in part, it certainly did display a natural consequences lesson. But, context is important. The kid is crying before he/she hits the cat. Why were they crying? We don't know but perhaps the cat had already bitten the kid? Don't know, just speculating. As far as "allowed" goes, well parents do need to be teaching kids to be kind to animals and animals need be removed if they can't restrain from attacking. Not all cats are suited to be around kids. Fortunately most are smart enough to give young kids a wide berth and find hiding places to sleep.

    Of course parents need to teach their kids that. I don't know what happened before the kid hit the cat, but unless the kid and cat were already fighting, the parents would have had to be psychic to stop that exchange.

    If the kid or cat had already harmed the other prior to this clip, and the parents didn't intervene and allowed this to occur, then yes, I would agree that this is disturbing.

    I've been around cats for over 50 years and have never observed a cat attacking a child in the face. Yes, hissing and snarling to warn but never an outright attack. IMO, there's more to this story than we're shown. In my experience, cats tend to give kids a wide berth until they're convinced the kid will not harm them. YMMV.

    My cat attacked a child. The child didn't do anything wrong, but I think my cat perceived a potential attack where there really wasn't one. We don't let children near that cat anymore, but we definitely didn't see that coming.

    Well considering my doctor told me that a diet of 1000 calories a day was good, it's safe to assume not all people in the medical field can give advice.
