It's a part of growing up. I thought I made my cats go through hell but my mother has told me, my sister and I were very different in the kind of annoyance.

One of my moms cat turned on my sister due to how she was with him but in my case they just tried to run away and I caught them they endured me, mostly trying to treat them like babies.

Anyways as you grow to bosn with the animal you start to feel guilty, I would dream of catching my cats by their tail and the tail coming off in my hands. That stopped me quickly. The pets lived to be average of 17 years old and all loved me anyways. They somewhat know and when their patience is over they let you know.
