Cat-lovers are calling for Chris Pratt’s head -- he says -- after he asked his followers on Twitter if they’d adopt his aging cat. Crushable writes.

“In a since-deleted tweet, Pratt wrote, “anyone in the LA area want a cat? full disclosure, she’s old and prone to accidents. So sweet though. And was in Stuart Little. (literally)” A bunch of people then informed him that that’s not the smartest way to go about re-homing a cat, and some were not very nice about it.”

Not very nice -- sounds like an understatement. Contact Music blogs that cat fans went a little too far.

“His thoughtful actions have provoked a storm of protest - and he has even received death threats for using the social networking site as a place to search for a cat caretaker.”

Pratt is insisting he did nothing wrong. The Huffington Post explains.

“Taking to his blog to clear up the situation, Pratt wrote that he was sensitive to the criticism and assured fans that he had found the cat a good home…“I found my aging cat a god damn loving home! Ease up with the death threats for heaven’s sake!…my wife and I want to start a family and we ABSOLUTELY CANNOT have an animal that sh*ts all over the house.”

That didn’t stop the criticism. Reader “I like cats” argues Pratt’s logic doesn’t really make sense in a comment on People Pets.

“He doesn't even have a baby yet! And babies take time to create, his ‘senior’ cat may not even live another few years.”

On his blog, Pratt says he found the cat a nice, warm home. He writes:"Her name is Meghan and as far as I could tell she is a perfectly reasonable, sweet and friendly cat lover."
