He told his followers that his cat wasn’t behaving properly, so he had to do what he did. Hasbulla said, “She [his cat] was misbehaving, and I just pulled the ear and that’s it. I love my cat more than you. If I didn’t love the cat, I wouldn’t have it at home. The most lovely animal is a cat and when she disobeyed me, I scolded her a little and you are attacking me for nothing.”
