Better save your cat before it's too late

Well if you teach him "the code," he might turn out like dexter

My sisters friend did that to a bird once. She though the bird was cold and wanted to warm him up. Maybe your son was thinking the same thing?

When my brother was about 8 (about 23 years ago), as well, he went to get something out of the deep freeze. He had his hamster on his shoulder and when he got upstairs started panicking when he realized his hamster was gone. So after quick reasoning, he ran downstairs and found him in the deep freeze. He was so worried that his poor hamster was freezing that he put him in the microwave to warm him up. He watched him until his head started bobbing up and down and his eyes started bulging out if his head. He again panicked realizing his mistake and pulled him out in a hurry. The hamster ended up living another month, but ended up eating it's own feet and going insane. Poor creature. My point however, is that, however vicious it seems, it was a little boy trying to help his hamster, with his ignorance it ended up very bad, but I am glad he learnt his lesson that way rather than by putting his baby brother in the oven to warm him up. My older brother turned out just fine in spite of this event. I hope your son had healing at his heart rather than malice.

That made me cry. That poor hamster. Has no one heard of using blankets?! Kids need to be taught how a microwave functions. It doesn't merely "heat things up".
