@fringemagnet The way I see it they let out the cat, the cat - being a cat - decided no, I don't want to come back in just yet, and they closed the window on the cat and headed out, presumably to teach the cat a lesson; obviously the person trying to teach the lesson has no clues about cats.

@madalex Oh gosh, that's like 100X worse! It seems like it's the owner functioning against common sense. Let alone the fact that you don't teach pets by punishing them because they have no idea why you are doing the thing, and for cats specifically it severs the bond and the trust they feel with the owner. But even *if* it worked, how can anyone leave a pet at risk of falling to their death to teach it a lesson. Some folks should just stick to adopting Tamagotchis.
