I'm wondering how differently people would have responded if he replaced cat with dog?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...

- Ok. Some philosophers might argue that it is wrong to interfere with another man's actions. Therefore, stopping the man from killing the cat would be considered wrong. However, the man has already interfered with your life by inserting thoughts of pain/cruelty into your mind (by preparing to kill the cat)... So. What now? hmmm...

What would Jesus do? Judging from many Bible stories I imagine Jesus would not do anything to this man. He would let him kill the cat knowing that the man would someday get what he deserved (hell)... If you dont believe in Hell, then maybe you believe in bad carma or "what goes around comes around". Therefore it might be wise to let the man kill the cat as he will probably suffer later in life for his actions...

But if you decide to cut off his hand, then maybe you could make it up to him by putting his hand in the microwave. This way he still gets to see a show and you can still be buddies.
