And it does not hurt.
Indeed, there is an entire tradition in India which instructs upon Breath Control, many of the exercises calculated to drop the blood pressure and limit oxygen to the brain in order to maintain that edge between fainting and not-fainting which is the most Ecstatic. And I remind you what a virtue they hold Fasting to be.
I would not have used any method that I thought would hurt poor kitty... though it was hurt quite severly enough and probably would have thanked even some greater pain, provided it was quick and final.
It made me cry to think you would do something like that to the poor little creature!!
