I Love My Cat

by Justin Gonzales

u/Reaper1868 takes to r/TrueOffMyChest to recount the retribution he wrought upon his roommate after he kicked his kitten, Dark Star, in a drunken stupor. As we witness the heroic 30-minute beating, we are confronted with questions: what counts as too far in the name of protecting animals, did any of this actually happen, and does Reddit have the answers? Based on a real Reddit post.
