I went back and read my post, and found it totally unclear. I apologize for that.
My point was that I don't believe that you were not trying to imply anything moral. When you asked if to hurt a cat is to hurt yourself, both your friend and I saw the punch that you had cocked behind your back --which was to say "isn;t it wrong to hurt yourself. . ." Your friend saw the sucker punch coming and put up his defenses, and you chastised him for it (thus hitting him with a sucker punch with the other hand which he did not see at the time but I can see on the replay.
Now, I think, you try to hide the second sucker punch and pretend you didn't hit him. But I saw you hit him.
But, of course, I cannot step into your mind, so I cannot say that I know it. I have only my conclusions and I hope I didn't offend you by stating them. It isn't as if I am calling, "Liar!"
