If someone intentionally caused harm to any of my cats, I live near a large national forest, and once you get a few hundred yards off a trail, no one is going to find a body.

Were you walking with your dinosaur next to Jesus on the beach when the footprints disappeared?

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.

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

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.

How DARE you interact with my poor, helpless cat, who I lovingly toss outside to slaughter songbirds, pick up parasites, and maybe get flattened by a car. I don't generally give a single solitary shit what happens to it out there, but this splash of water is TOO FAR.

Edit:

Please stop letting your cat out. It's not good for your cat or the local wildlife.

For me it is fine, that bastard will think twice next time.

If his Dad's reaction is any indication, he likely won't.
