“Your cats are family members, you can’t get rid of them just because they’re swatting at your kids!”

So if I was married and my husband started smacking the kids that’s okay? I’m just supposed to put up with it because he’s a part of my family? 

Hell no. You don’t have to put up with abuse just because they’re family, and that’s especially true for animals. 

1. Cats scratching your kids is NOT AT ALL comparable to parental abuse.

2. As someone who worked with feral cats – 9 times out of 10, if your bitch ass children would show the cat some respect and pay attention to its body language, they’d be fine.

Shut the fuck up op. Cats swat when they feel threatened or are disturbed.

People who hit kids are shitty because they know better and I hope you don’t freak out when your infant starts to flail and hits another one and call it abuse

If your cat runs up and immediately attacks your child for no evident reason, you have a problem and possibly a rabid cat.

If your cat occasionally swats at your children, your children are probably upsetting the cat, consciously or otherwise. Teach your children to respect animals, and your problem will be solved. If  your children are too young to understand that they should not pull on your cat, do not allow the cat near the children or the children near the cat.

Animals are not capable of abuse. 

Violent actions in domesticated animals are generally the result of that animal feeling threatened or stressed. 

Stop letting your children upset your pets.
