If my pet shits on my bed, which is the more appropriate punishment, hit it with a belt or a bat?

It depends on the severity of the incident. If it's the pet's first offense, then a sharp and stern "no" with proper consequences will do, however, if it is a chronic problem then a belt or a light bat might be more suitable depending on the pet's size and temperament.
