The man apparently recorded himself abusing the animal and then posted the video to Facebook.

As the man appears to kick the cat like a football, he can be heard exclaiming, “In the hole you go.”

After thousands of people shared the post and the video racked up more than a million views, the man posted a second video to Facebook saying, “Thanks to all y’all haters that got me a million views.”

Despite his apparent pride in the publicity, the Facebook posts were later removed.

WSOCTV is not naming the man, because he isn’t facing any charges at this time.
