How do I get my 11 year old little sister stop capturing the cats and holding them under blankets?

Talk to your parents about it and smack your sister upside the head like she deserves for tormenting the poor cats. She's going to end up being bitten and scratched and the parents will blame the poor cats

This is a case of bad parenting. Abusing pets like this is a major red flag that always leads to something worse.

I'm glad you know better on this issue than your parents seem to. And for the posters who say your sister doesn't understand, that's baloney. At age 11, you know exactly what you're doing when you hold an animal down against its will.

I've worked with so many children, and like another poster said, this is not cute, this is a red warning flag for behavior that (left unchecked) will only get worse. Your sister has no sense of boundaries. She's not holding the cat to cuddle it, no matter what she says, she's holding it because she gets off on making a smaller creature angry, she gets off on controlling another creature.

Is she bullied in school? Is she a bully herself in school? There's something more to this story, and it sounds like your sister needs professional help. But until then, see if you can get your cats used to being with you in your room with the door closed as much as possible. Obviously, don't trap them, let them out when they want, but gently place them in there with you often, until they might understand that it's cool to be with you in your room, away from a small maniac. At least you can keep them safe sometimes.

You can play the "it's MY cat" card, if you think it will work. Thank you for having so much compassion to stand up against your bratty sister and clueless parents in order to protect your cats.

Do the same to her to make sure she knows what it feels like!

No, but sit down with your parents and talk to her and try to get her to understand you cant do that because they get hurt by it and its the wrong way to '' cuddle '' with them

Yes cats don't like to be held too long. I sure your Sister is not doing this to hurt them. Its becuse she does not understand. You need to tell your mom.

Regardless what she does to the cat,you should not wish that your sister would die. That is not right.What kind of person are you?

Tell her that's really not okay if that doesn't work beat her ***
