Madame gave you great advice. I personally work with a child that did kill his family cat at the age of 5 (he used a steak knife). Please talk to your sister and family. I think your nephew would really benefit from therepy. A lot of times the child does not understand (even at that age) that he is hurting the cat. We had a child developmental therepist come to give us a conference a week ago. She told us about a boy who was about 9 that kept killing cats. He would cut them open. He did this because he wanted to refeed the cat the food it ate.He thought he could just feed it the same food over and over and the cat would be fine. He wasn't doing it to hurt the cat. There is something going on emotionally with your nephew. A therapist would help you all figure out what is goin on.
