Today, my whack job of a father told my 8-year-old son that his cat deserves a bullet to the head for being so damn stupid. FML

Hey, OP here. Anyways, for those who are saying I should take it as a joke--he was fully serious when he said it. He's not the best human being. He's done this before, and I don't know why he specifically attacks my son's kitten. He's threatened to let the cat outside so it can get hit by a car, has said he hopes it runs away and never comes back, and I even caught him trying to kick and/or chuck it out of a room. He repeated what he said to my husband, but claimed that my son couldn't take a joke and refused to apologize. My son was speechless when he said it and went to his room because he didn't want to be seen crying. He's only 8; he doesn't need to hear that his grandfather wants to kill his cat. My husband did the responsible thing and told my father that he thinks he shouldn't be involved with my son that much anymore.

Good. Your dad needs to be out of the picture as much as possible. That's ****** up.

I'm really sorry your son had to hear that. My stepfather used to joke about throwing my small pets on the BBQ when I was little and it really bothered me. He hated them and, while he would never have actually hurt them, it was very hurtful for my baby self to hear that. Of course, now that I'm an adult that has a Xoloitzcuintli (a dog the Aztecs used to raise as a food source in addition to pets and hunting partners), I make BBQ and roast jokes all the time. He's a 60 lb hairless dog with a tough hide so I also crack belt, boots, and wallet jokes. I, however, am the only one allowed to make them. He's my heart dog and people around me know better than to make that kind of joke about him. Or any joke, really. It's one thing to say something about your own animals, but it's quite another to say something negative about someone else's, especially when so many of us consider them members of our family.

So there is nothing wrong with a shrewd opinion

There is when it simultaneously makes a child cry and threatens the safety of an animal.

Perhaps you meant rude, boorish, blunt, crude, ignorant, or uncivilized instead but you didn't mean shrewd. Try the dictionary, it's excellent.

I'm glad your husband told that heartless **** to get the hell out of your lives. If he's that violent towards an animal, I can't imagine what he's like to human beings.

My father actually shot my cat three times in the head and lied about it. When I found out and started crying he told me to suck it up.

I hope you reported him to the police. And the OP's father needs to be kept away from the cat as well as the grandson.
