Well, in Hurricane Fluttershy, Twilight was only hitting him, to keep him from saying anything that would offend fluttershy (while I love the little guy, he was saying things that would've unintentionally, hurt her feelings). As for the Cutie Pox, even I have to admit her actions weren't ideal. He was kidding around and she just kicked him off her back. You could even hear some bones break. Thank goodness for thick scales.

And I don't know, I think Twilight definitely cares for Spike; and to be honest, the whole "Spike not coming to Canterlot" has a reasonable explanation, that doesn't have to be "Twilight didn't invite him." Maybe he never liked Canterlot and wanted to stay home? Maybe Twilight wanted to have girl time? Maybe the other ponies were planning on bringing alcoholic beverages, and Twilight didn't want them to drink in front of Spike (I'm totally kidding, btw )? The possibilities are endless!
