Maybe throwing the cat outside wasn't the best move, but at least she didn't kick it across the room like i've heard some actually, truely, bad pet owners have done. I know my cats are outside all day in the feezing cold on their own free will - it can't be too bad.

Haven't we all made some mistakes in the past? I know I have... I found this site because I kept a male and female in the same tank, with no thermostats, thermometers, and no way to monitor the humidity for 5 years - a herpers worst nightmare to hear a story like this. On top of it all my male got an RI and I didnt know until he stopped eating and I came here to find out what was going on. I took him to the vet, paid the $500 to get it right, built a rack system, and bought everything I needed to make sure they were taken care of properly for the rest of their lives.

I did all of this because I truely did care about their well-being, just as I suspect Wolf cares too. I don't believe Wolf let the cat in KNOWING it could get into the tank, had this disaster, and then felt as bad as he/she did if she didn't care.

Im sure you will learn from this Wolf, and make the neccassary changes to make sure this type of thing never happens again. When this doesn't happen, maybe then we will have the right to call you a bad pet owner.
Depends whether you find one type of animal abuse less offensive than another. I've never made the mistake of abusing my cats for doing something that comes naturally. Making a mistake with the caging isn't the issue for me. Everyone makes husbandry mistakes at some point whether its not securing a cage (I've had escaped snakes and lizards) or leaving tinsel around and finding it hanging out of their cats ass the next day (was that too graphic?). Its the punishing of the cat I take issue with.
