'kick at the cat' means to give an attempt at something 35.142.184.68 ( talk) 13:04, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Kicking the cat/dog is kind of a "chain of harm" thing where you take things out on subordinates whereas this variation I'm calling "shoot the cat" is where someone snaps and does something particularly heinous and cruel that goes well above and beyond normal "taking it out on your subordinates". For example, the company president chews out the vice president who chews out the CEO who chews out other board members who chew out middle management who chew out lower management and one boss instead of chewing out his underlings, attacks one of them and delivers an absolutely brutal, savage beating that leaves onlookers horrified and gets him most assuredly fired and likely sent to jail. Or a literal version, boss yells at man, man yells at wife, wife yells at child, child doesn't kick or yell at cat but takes daddy's revolver and shoots cat. 72.72.205.77 ( talk) 03:24, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
