Words matter. Words about harming small animals for sport are not acceptable in any company of civilized folk. Some thought they were joking. It was not funny. Some were not joking. There is a special place in hell for them.

The cat is simply young and enjoying life, being a cat. You just need to exercise some access control and discipline yourself. If you have the space and the means, a cat play pen (with roof) with a litter box, toys and water will let the cat do what cats do while you are playing with your no-cats-allowed stuff. A large cat play pen, thoroughly equipped, costs much less than the average flying model.
