Sages, I hope you know the cat wasn't actually shocked. If it was that would mean James Woods' wife (in the film) was as well, but you didn't seem to care about that, did you?
Anyway it was a rig built to blow air upward which would cause the cat to jump, there was no actual electricity involved.

If you are an animal lover then you might as well ask him that no harm comes to a human in his books because humasn are animals too you know.
Or, or, i got an idea. how about we dont hold cats above humans. how that sounds?

Actually Cat From Hell is a superhero of cats. He was picked by cats to be their hitman to off a guy who was butchering cats for profit. So cat from hell is a great example of pro-feline writing that Stephen King does well.

Yes, he is. If you read his writing, you'll find cats cast an extremely favorable light every time. This can be quite frustrating for me, as I'm a dog person myself.
What a weird thing to find frustrating. -

Dogs and Dog lovers DESERVE to be shown the way Stephen King showed and shows them.
If you'd see/witness a dog killing a cat butchering it with unspoken cruelty (and I have seen this) you'd have to admit;
that dogs are CRUEL MURDERERS.
Outside of dogs, I cant think of another animal which KILLS 'just for the kill'
Every single other animal in nature except dogs kills in order to eat it's 'kill'.
Dogs have killed cats just because they 'can', the (dog) maniacs!
THE ONLY REASON DOG IS MAN'S BEST FRIEND I so believe
IS BECAUSE B-O-T-H; MAN AND DOG, ARE CRUEL, EGO-FILLED NARCISSISTIC MURDERERS.
Cat's don't 'bow' down to such murderers, man or dog,
and for that alone, cats have MY full respect and admiration. -

Wow. You need help, edmondoster. Seek counseling immediately.
You're the type of person that ends up dying alone, with nobody but cats around to witness it. The weird cat lady, or man, that nobody wants to visit because their house smells of cat urine.
Cats and dogs have more similarities than some people care to admit. And yes, cats DO kill for pleasure, not just for food. Cats toy with their rodent victims as well before killing them, at least dogs don't torture before they kill. I like cats and dogs and have owned both during my life, though I do tend to have a closer bond with my dogs. They are both great in different ways.

Can
t be sure, but I think in the introduction of PPet Semetary," or somewhere, Stephen King wrote that at one time, he and his family lived near a busy highway where pets were always being run over and there was a place where the pets were buried. Either his childrens beloved cat was hit or he began wondering how hed be able to break the news to his children if it happened. Thats the origins of the book anyway. Its been a while since Ive read the book, but I could swear that I read something like that. Anyone else? -

thurber67,
You're correct. Stephen King's daughter Naomi had a cat named Smucky when she was a child. Smucky was hit by a car and killed, and after King broke the news to his daughter, he later found her angrily stomping around the house, crying, "Let God get his own cat!"
Smucky, of course, was memorialized in the novel "Pet Sematary." He shall be sorely missed; after all, he was obedient. -

To the person who gave this movie a 1 because of that one scene:
SK probably wrote this scene to show how crazy the business guy was and also to disturb people. This movie isnt a full out comedy it has to have something scary happen in it.
BTW im also a cat lover.

Also, his kid was almost run over by a truck as well. Apparently King just caught him by inches and he kept thinking what if I had missed, and this was the reason he wrote the book. He also said he believed Pet Semetary was the scariest book he had written and was horrified after he had finished it because it was so close to his life.
