There is nothing wrong with the kid and his Cat except having stupid parents.
If they would just leave him alone to be who he is, he would have been just fine.
Animals are important in the lives of children. They teach unconditional love and respect among other things.
Stupid parents tend to teach very little. Mostly they teach bad things if they teach anything at all.
The burden of having stupid parents lasts a lifetime and requires much work on the part of the child to turn it around. Why it is necessary to say in 600 words what can be said in less is an indication of someone having stupid parents and/or bosses that make such a requirement necessary. Original point more or less proven.
