Dear, a cat is a substitute person. Cruelty to animals is beyond, as Saluki girl says, narcisistic. It is well into anitsocial territory, as is the coming out just to torment you. A good talk to the father is needed, and steps to get him thouroughly evaluated. This is NOT a diagnosis, but a warning that there is more here than you might think. Please take care and try to get him help! HUGGGSSS
