'I lost it': Person kicks their friend out of the house because of the way the friend treated their cat and then laughed about it, now wonders if they overreacted

Cats are not always the best around strangers. They like their space, they like their people, and they don't like unknown people invading their spaces. We get that. Of course, it doesn't stop us from trying to befriend every cat that our friends have. We're gentle with them, we take things slow with them, and if our friend's cats deem us worthy enough to come and sit with us, we take that for the honor that it is. Cats are affectionate, sure, but not with everyone. So, when a cat does show you affection, even in a small way, you have to understand how amazing that is.

The friends in this story did not get it. Instead of understanding that this cat coming up to them was a compliment, being still and letting the cat enjoy their company, they did just about the worst thing that they could have - they mistreated the cat, tossing it off the couch and scaring it. And the owner, the owner couldn't take it and lost it.

Good people don't do things like this. Good people don't react like this to an animal - any animal - merely sitting down next to them. We don't know if we would have gone as far as to kick them out, but we might have for something like this. You do not mistreat our cats in front of our faces.

The commenters are right. If this is the way that they treat your cat in front of your face, we don't know how they would treat said cat when you're not there. If you don't want to cut this friend out completely, one thing that we would make sure of is that they are not in contact with your cat again.
