When I was Little I believed that my pets, being smaller than humans, felt pain more. In fact I had a vague concept that pain increased exponentially the smaller a creature was. Therefore if I flicked the cat in the nose it was the equivalent of a grown man being hit in the face with a brick. So I became very gentle with animals.
