    Animals tend to defend themselves when they feel cornered. You cannot blame the cat for being handled in a way it doesn't like.

    That was my opinion as well. I didn't think the guy cared for animals at all. The cat panicked in a novel situation and almost surely had never been on a leash before. The cat struggled for a long time and the guy said "I'm not gonna grab him." If he had any decent amount of animal experience, he would have known to just pin the cat to the ground at the back of the neck and then use both hands to restrain it. If he hadn't let the cat struggle with the leash that was likely choking it for so long, then he wouldn't have forced the cat into the situation to end up wrapped around his leg.

    I think the real lesson is, don't put a leash on a cat lol. Most cats don't like it at all, its like trying to give a cat a bath and that is never a pretty sight.

    Risking neutering the pet shop owner in the process! A dead cat and a eunuch in one shot
