I have this friend who is latino. He is married to a white women and they have a teenage boy and little girl (been together 10 years) . The boy is his stepson and the girl he had with the women. He doesn't have much of a relationship with the boy, don't think he really cares and the wife it seems has given up on them getting along. He adores his little girl though and treats the wife like gold.
Anyways they have two cats. One is all white and the other is brown an a bit of orange. I've noticed that he treats the white cat like crap. The white cat is obviously scared of him. Whenever it sees him, it runs away to the boys room. He has chased the white cat down the alley,used the garden hose with cold water on it,whipped it in the air and tossed it, held it over the sink. Taken it outside many times hoping it will run away. For some reason the wife doesn't notice or he does it when she isn't around. He doesn't really bother with the other cat.
I think he is racist towards the cat or just transmits his dislike of the boy onto the cat. I sometimes want to tell his wife but than he would kick the living hell out of me. He's like 6 foot 4 and 250...
