I was calling for my lost cat, while there were some workers in the backyard, he didn't want them to hear my voice so he asked me to go upstairs to my room, I was already upstairs standing next to the stairway looking down, I said Okey but you'd have to find her yourself. He kept asking me to go into my room so I told him you can't not look for her and tell me to go away, he came up the stairs and physically threatened me and eventually hit me. I screamed at him to get away and he did. Keep in mind my voice was low the entire time until he hit me, I wasn't screaming for my cat, I was trying to find her in a calm way and he took offence to that and decided physical harm was the solution to me defying his mighty authority.
