“Hey kitten, you smell like garbage and fish, bro.”

Channing Tatum holding a kitten sounds like a very popular calendar, but instead it was a vicious verbal attack by the young actor on a poor feline–one that got personal. Real personal.

Actually, it was really a funny way for Tatum to promote his upcoming movie, Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, even though he couldn’t actually make it to Jimmy Kimmel Live. The reason we warned it might not be safe for work is that even though there’s a lot of bleeping, it’s still over-the-top and outright dirty at times. I mean, Tatum really lays into that cat.

“You know what sucks about you? You don’t have thumbs dude; that sucks for you. I got thumbs, they’re right where my middle fingers are.”

That’s one of the cleanest insults thrown at that poor kitten. Most of them are cat-shaming at its worst. I’m sure the kitten knows it goes to the bathroom in a box. Cats hate when you watch them use the litter box enough as it is Channing, they don’t need to be reminded on national TV.

If the movie is anywhere near as hateful at this video, it might be, dare I say, too hateful.

The Hateful Eight opens on Christmas Day.

What animal could Channing Tatum have yelled at that would have been more hateful than yelling at a kitten? We want to hear your answers in the comments below, but be nice about it.
