We all probably encountered at least a few kids who have no clue how to handle tiny, and often helpless, pets. Some kids can be extremely aggressive towards animals, usually when they are much smaller than they are. Often those kids are not even aware that what they are doing is wrong, which is why it is up to the parents to educate them about being kind to other living things, especially if they consider letting their kids raise a fluffy friend of their own.

The little girl in this Reddit story arrived at a shelter with her dad to adopt a kitten, but was extremely aggressive toward all the tiny felines there. This raised alarms for another woman at the shelter, who observed while the little girl went from kitten to kitten until she settled on an awwdorable orange one. However, before the kid's father managed to secure the adoption, the woman swooped in to rescue the kitten from the little girl's claws and ended up adopting him herself.

    My (then 15-year-old Daughter) and I visited the local humane society on a weekly basis. It was free therapy for her, as cuddling the kittens and watching them play was a great endorphin rush.

    We were in the kitten room, when a little girl (maybe 6 or 7) entered with her father. I watched as she man-handled kittens- picking them up by their legs, hitting one on the head after it swiped at her, and listened to her whiny voice

    saying "That one's ugly," or "Yuck, look at his eye! That's gross." (About a kitten with an obviously healing eye injury.) She eventually zeroed in on the only little orange and white kitten

    nicely said "Can I please have him? We are adopting him." She glared at me and said "No! He's mine!" Her dad walked over, and I said "We had visited him earlier, we even have his cage card, I'm sorry."

    She ONLY wanted the orange one, and didn't like any of the other ugly kittens. It took her dad yelling at her to get her to finally THROW the kitten across the room and stomp away.

    My daughter went and picked up the kitten, and long story short, Otis has now been happily living his best life in my home for seven years, and we love him so much.
