Comment: Without more it appears to be a classic case of a matrimonial dispute with the aggrieved man taking it out on the woman's cat. This happens a lot. The cat is very vulnerable in matrimonial disputes and are almost invariably owned by the woman. If the man is aggressive the cat can be the brunt of his anger. Conversely, women use the children to emotionally hurt the man by withdrawing contact between them and her former partner. The vulnerable are innocent bystanders in matrimonial wars.
