When Pluto started to avoid the narrator in "The Black Cat," the narrator became angry. When the narrator first started taking his drunken anger out on his wife and pets, Pluto managed to avoid it, but when the narrator thought Pluto had suddenly started to avoid him one night, everything changed. He grabbed the cat, and after the cat scratched him in response, he grew enraged and grabbed his knife from his waistcoat pocket, which he then used to cut out one of the cat's eyes. This made the cat fear him even more, which at first made the narrator feel a bit remorseful, but as he sank deeper into his alcoholism, he started to resent the creature, which is what led to him hanging it from the tree.
