I brought this up as another example that JKR may not always
portray the right way to handle an animal in her books, not to say that
Harry was mean and cruel or should have known better ;)

Though he might have picked up a thing or two during his
time at Hogwarts, or being babysat by Mrs. Figgs, who had
lots of cats :)
