A woman has gone viral after sharing an unusual punishment she inflicted on a neighbour’s son for what he did to her pet cat.
Shannon Cooper has sparked a huge debate on social media after sharing that when her neighbour’s child poured water on her cat, she responded by pouring water on him.
She’s taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) and explained the situation – and now people are rushing to the comments and sharing their thoughts…

One person writes: “It’s very childish how you handled it you should have told the parents first so that they could punish their own kid.
“Like no that wouldn’t hurt a kid but at the same time as a parent myself I’d LIKE TO HANDLE MY KID because no it’s not right the kid did that but it’s also not yours.”
Another adds: “People defending this clearly haven’t surrounded themselves by children and don’t understand the development they are still going through.
“The child is still growing and understanding consequences. How could a FULLY DEVELOPED adult act like a 10-year-old who is still learning?”
However, others are on Cooper’s side, with one person penning: “Someone messes with my cat, they will be dealing with me.”
“Just goes to show you that if you don’t teach your kids respect, somebody else will!” someone else comments.
While one mum shares: “I have 11-year-old twin boys. If they did that and you chose to throw water on them. I am good with that. It’s water, they will survive. A 10 yr old knows better!”
Sharing their own story, one commentator says: “I had neighbours kick my ass when I was little. Water… I wish. Parents have grown a little soft to [the] principal.
“Sounds almost like you continued the game. All fair in my book. Actually, a good lesson for the kid. Actions have consequences. Some more severe than others.”

It all started when Shannon took to X to share her side of the story.
She wrote: “My 10-year-old neighbour just threw a cup of water over my cat who was sitting on the fence minding his own business and laughed so I threw a basin of water over him from the window and now his dad is at my door going mental but I don’t see the problem, don’t touch my cat.”
After her initial post sparked a debate, Cooper explained herself further and defended her actions – stating that she and the neighbours are friends.
“People are so mad over this,” she shared. “The kid and his dad were laughing about it today, we are friends (also might I add the dad never knew what his son [had] done which is why he was mad, to begin with), also the kid is 13 he really looks 10.”
She also posted an image of the cat, who looked like he had survived the shocking incident unscathed.

Horrifying Words Of SeaWorld Trainer Dragged Under By Two Killer Whales
The horrifying words of SeaWorld trainer Tamarie Tollison, who ‘knew she was going to die’ as she was dragged underwater by two huge orcas, have gone viral.
SeaWorld has been at the centre of a huge controversy over keeping killer whales ever since the shocking death of trainer Dawn Brancheau and the release of the documentary film Blackfish.
The movie discusses the ‘controversial captivity of killer whales, and its dangers for both humans and whales’, and is highly critical of keeping the animals confined.
And now, the harrowing words Tollison cried out as she was pulled underwater by two giant orcas have resurfaced.

Former SeaWorld trainer John Hargrove explains in Blackfish that attacks by orcas are not a fault of the animals, but a result of their experiences in captivity.
He says: “Physical and psychological damage endured by human prisoners in solitary confinement is well documented. Orcas at amusement parks such as SeaWorld suffer the same fate.
“I can tell you from my 14 years of experience that I personally witnessed the orcas – as well as other dolphins and marine animals – suffer the same physical and psychological trauma.
“Imagine spending your entire life trapped in a small enclosure.”
He adds: “That is exactly what we did at SeaWorld. The main takeaway with creating a hybrid orca is that you truly have no idea what you’ve created because they don’t exist in nature. So all things are possible.”
And now, one particularly terrifying orca attack is horrifying people all over the internet.
Tamarie Tollison, then aged 28, was relaxing alone at the edge of the whales’ pool and dangling her feet into the water when disaster struck.
Two orcas, named Orkid and Splash, suddenly reached up and dragged Tollison into the water by her foot.
A video of the attack, captured by an unsuspecting tourist on February 24, 2010, shows the horrifying moment Tollison was pulled under.
The gut-wrenching words she cried out before being dragged under have left the internet in horror.
“I can’t imagine being pulled down by two huge KILLER WHALES. It gives me chills,” one person comments.
“Chilling,” another adds.
