Animals, especially cats, can be pesky creatures, with many streamers having their broadcasts sabotaged by the hairy felines. But one Overwatch streamer is receiving heat from internet forum Reddit after her kitty chewed through a wire and shocked itself live on stream, with many upset that she didn\u2019t check on her pet afterwards. Streamer\u2019s cat gets electric shock \u2018Sadlittlesun\u2019 was playing the hero-based shooter on October 17 when her furry friend suddenly appeared behind her and started to chew on a wire leading to some Christmas lights hung up on the wall. \u201cStop!\u201d she scolded the animal calmly, before hitting the wire to try and deter it from the behavior. \u201cHe\u2019s chewing on my f*cking cord! On my f*cking Christmas lights!\u201d (Mobile viewers, click here for the clip.) The streamer looked on as the cat continued to attack the wire. \u201cYou\u2019re going to f*cking electrocute yourself!\u201d she exclaimed, before the lights suddenly turned off and the animal flew off in a flurry across the room as it got shocked by the electricity current. \u201cOh God!\u201d sadlittlesun stated as she burst into hysterical laughter, finding the situation absolutely hilarious. \u201cOh God, dude!\u201d her friend who she was chatting to during her broadcast exclaimed. \u201cYou didn\u2019t stop her (the cat)!\u201d People were furious The moment was clipped and found its way onto \u201cfront page of the internet\u201d Reddit, where viewers were stunned by what they\u2019d witnessed, focusing mainly on questions surrounding the reasoning why the streamer hadn\u2019t stopped her cat, or checked it was okay once it had been shocked instead of laughing about it. \u201cWho just sits there and watches their cat chew on live wires?\u201d one user asked. \u201cI wasn\u2019t ready to hate her for not stopping the cat. I am when I saw her laughing.\u201d another replied. 600On another thread about the same incident, people were equally as upset by the clip, with one person even going so far as to report her for the situation. \u201cThe problem is that she encouraged her cat to harm itself and laughed about it instead of being a responsible owner.\u201d a user replied. \u201cWhat if the cat does something stupid again, she doesn\u2019t respond to it, and the cat dies or is seriously injured?\u201d The 21-year-old is mainly known for streaming Overwatch, and keeps her broadcasts in a tight-knit circle of almost 200 followers on Twitch. While she is a self-proclaimed \u201caddict\u201d of the first-person shooter, it\u2019s probably a wise guess that she\u2019ll be taking more time away from the game to watch what her pet is doing in the future to avoid any further accidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Overwatch streamer under fire after pet cat gets electric shock An Overwatch streamer is coming under fire after she watched her pet cat chew through wires which resulted in it receiving an electric shock.
