Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.

Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.

All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.

It is assault, though.

Kid acted maliciously towards the cat. It's not like the kid accidentally knocked a bottle of water and some of it splashed the cat. No. There was a conscious decision to torment the cat by deliberately throwing water over it.

Punishment fits the crime here.

I'll remember to call the police every time it rains.

Those 40 acid tablets I had in my back pocket though

Tetris11 was carrying 40 acid tablets that got destroyed by water. 40. That's as many as 4 tens, and that's awful.

The cat could panic, run away and get lost. Small a actions can have big consequences.

If you're worried about your cat running away you shouldn't let it roam free.

Or the cat could secretly be a wicked witch, who then vows to make an evil AI to contact aliens in order to slay all humans in revenge. Who knows what monstrous things could happen as a consequence of getting a cat wet????

I never thought of it that way.

battle snare drum to a montage of buying Super Soakers, ending with a one-liner to camera...

...It's time to get some pussies wet... and witches. But mainly the pussies because the aliens. Damn it, I ruined the one-liner.
