Sacred Haven of Debauchery

When I was 8-10 years old, I threw a fluffy cat down the garbage chute because it scratched me.

I'm not advocating for anything, but I did the right thing.

When I was a child, I used to tease cats, pulling their tails and paws, etc.

I didn't tease them. I just once decided that a cat was dirty and washed it in the kitchen sink.
To be fair, the cat was indeed dirty, as it had been found on the street.
