NO ONE kicks a baby!!!

As for touching the cat, same thing....mean, spiteful behavior warrants solo play. Mean spiteful behavior says "I am not mature or old enough to play with others". (including pets)

At BOTH 3.5 and 5 yrs old, they know how to listen.

I am hoping your baby is okay? The kitten as well.

All of this. The consequence for this type of behavior in my home is my anger and my angry tone. I don't yell and I don't hit (obviously) but when I am angry the kids know it and they rarely do something like this twice. I look pretty scary when I'm angry

I had a 6 year old kick my own 6 year old in the stomach one day. I got angry and sent him to the other room to be alone. I was enraged. He started to cry just from my anger (I didn't raise my voice just became VERY stern) and he never did it again.
