That's terrible! Poor kitty! The woman is positively torturing her. I do
hope someone stops the woman from doing that.

Drown her. I think it is terrible what she is doing to this cat to get
publicity.

HOW APPALLING! Contrary to any excuse that we are being judgemental, this is
definitely animal cruelty. You do not do to people or animals what is not akin
to thier species. There are exceptions but in general cats do not like being in
water and to have a KITTEN plunking down in sea water over and over again is
INTOLERABLE. The kitten was not having a bath for instance, or splashing around
with water from a tap. This is having the kitten struggle for her life over and
over again. This woman should definitely be prosecuted for animal cruelty and
then some. She should also be subjected to all the other posts on suggestions
of how to "punish" this pathetic woman.

I agree overall, but then how do we know this cat is not one of the
exceptions? Seems unlikely, absolutely, but how do you really know unless
you know that animal?

I would think being a kitten is too young and too short a time to know if the
cat's all for it. The cat was probably not given a choice when they trained her
to do this sort of thing. When the cat tried to get out of water, they probably
interpreted it as "getting out to try again" Anyone with this mentality is sure
to have warped interpretations of any animal's behavior.

Take her out past the three mile limit, toss HER overboard, and let HER
swim for shore? Sure, cats CAN swim, if they have to - I think most
mammals can - but why force them to?

What about the problem of the cat having to lick the SALT water out of it's
fur? Does she give the cat a post-surfing bath? And how traumatic is that
for the poor creature?
