This has been going on for a little while now, but I just wanted to make sure of this before consulting the person about the behavior.
Around April-ish is when this began to form. This was 3 months after we had gotten Artemis (the sphynx in this situation) and she had been doing fine. This happened earlier, and it's kind of in a pattern of how this goes down. One of my parents (we can call them "E" for now) had seen that the cat was licking the oil from a bottle of oil on the counter next to the sink. First "E" had gone over and violently snagged her from the counter to put her in a crate so she doesn't get the oil, (this is also the case when we're cooking dinner, having lunch, etc..) and Artemis tried to jump on the floor and run away- doing this, E took her by her sweater and carried her around 3 feet in the air until they reached the crate. Artemis looked as if she was choking, and I decided not to say anything just in case it wasn't that big of a deal- I don't like seeing my elders torture my poor baby, and I want to know about this before it becomes worse in anyway.
E has also picked her up by the scruff (which I believe is natural, but very high in the air), smacked her off of counters/tables, pulled her tail, and has thrown her. All of these make me very uncomfortable when I catch E doing it, but still I stay silent just to make sure it's not something to be super afraid of.
The only thing I"m worried about is that Artemis will get hurt in some way- say E smacks her off of the counter and lands funny on the ground, or is sent flying right into the counter or the fridge, and she gets bruises or hurt very badly. Can someone help me? All help is very appreciated!
