Mom demands 7-year-old son apologize to their cat after yelling at it for stealing his food from his plate, dad claims she took it too far: ‘I’m teaching him empathy’

When it comes to educating and training your pets, you reap what you sow. If you don't work hard to teach your beloved furriends wrong from right, nothing will stop them from doing anything they please.

We all know that when it comes to cats, they will do whatever they want, whether you like it or not. But that doesn't necessarily mean you should let them. At our household, we do everything from preventing our cats from destroying the furniture or eating our food, even when it feels like nothing we do gets through to the one brain cell they share.

Why wouldn't the cat seize every opportunity they can to take food from whatever plate is available? Especially the east target, which is the 7-year-old son.

That leads to the question: Was it justified for Mom to demand her son apologize to the cat after yelling at it for stealing his food? Or was it her fault to begin with? Keep scrolling to read the full tale.
