It is wrong to throw things at a cat.
Carl is cutting vegetables for dinner, and his cat is walking on the counter by the food.
Carl wants to get the cat away from the food.
Carl quickly puts down his knife, so he can pick up the cat and place it on the floor.
Carl doesn't want to get his hands dirty, so he grabs an orange and tosses it at the cat.
The cat purrs and gently rubs his head against Carl's legs.
The scared cat leaps off the counter and avoids Carl for the rest of the day.
