I have two options....
1) Take your initial "with cats you can boot them out for a couple of days" comment on face value - in which case (in my opinion) yes, you were being cruel.
2) Take your later "Ok, let’s put this to bed" comment at face value - in which case your initial comment about kicking the cat out for a few days was a verbal hand grenade.
Either one suits me as both pissed me off.
You've had my retort, so feel free to have the last word.
Not going to say what I think.
Lets move on.
