I want to talk about something. My mom bought a cat about a month ago. At first it took me a while to get used to him but now I really like him and we've developed a connection. He sleeps in my room sometimes and basically spends the whole day with me.

Sometimes I get the urge to hurt him. Like, for some reason I picture picking him up by his hind legs and swinging him as hard as i can against the wall and smashing his brains all over the place. I picture this, or I picture myself strangling him to death.

It's important to note that while I'm thinking about these things I get physically angry and I'm usually clenching my teeth. I love this cat, and when I see other people hurting animals on tv I get extremely angry and always feel great pleasure when the animal finally snaps and attacks the person.

I love most animals and would generally never hurt any. This feeling is spontaneous and is for the most part manageable, I've never hurt my cat. Anyone else have this Dr. jekyll/Mr. Hyde moment when it comes to people or animals?

Is It Normal?

    Yesss. I'm like this with any cute, soft, and friendly animal. I want to squeeze them until they yelp in pain or throw them around until they're bloody and basically dead. But, I know that's not okay or legal so I don't.

    I want to hurt your cat, and all others too. Needless to say, I HATE CATS!

    It is a sadistic streak that is present in most people. Your unwillingness to act on your darker impulses and your concern about them should be reassuring to you that you are normal enough.

    Please continue to refrain from acting on them. You can meet a lot of folks that had trouble with impulse control in prison.
