Family calls 911 to report their cat ‘went over the edge,’ is attacking them
PORTLAND (KPTV) — A Portland family with an infant shut themselves off in a bedroom and called 911 to report that their pet cat had gone crazy and was attacking them.
Police were called to The Yards at Union Station complex on Northwest Naito Parkway just before 8 p.m. Sunday.
The man who called 911 told the dispatcher the cat “went over the edge” and was charging at them every time they opened the door.
“He’s trying to attack us,” he said. “He’s very, very, very, very hostile.”
911 operators confirmed the family’s baby did not need medical attention before sending officers to the scene.
“The 911 operator stayed on the phone with the caller to ensure the family, including the dog, remained safe in the bedroom as the cat screeched in the background,” a Portland Police Bureau press release said.
The responding officers snagged a dog snare to use in case it was needed to take the alleged cat criminal into custody.
The cat, named Lux, weighs 22 pounds.
When officers opened the door to the apartment, a black and white Himalayan darted into the kitchen, “attempting to flee custody,” police said.
The dog snare came in handy, as it was used to put the cat in a crate. Officers then told the family it was safe to come out of the bedroom.
Here is the vicious beastie after his reign of terror was interrupted by the local police, who I might add, DID NOT SHOOT THE CAT!
I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh.
22 pounds or not, if that cat went after me like that I sure as shit wouldn't be hiding in the bedroom calling 911!
I would be looking for a garbage bag to put the little fuckers body in and a sponge to clean up the mess.

I was saying the same thing to my wife this morning about some hikers that got lost for a couple hours in a PA state park. The guy that they interviewed was all whiney and upset and thought that he was going to die. It only went down to 50 degrees last night. WTF?
The pussification of the American male. Brought to you by Oprah fucking Winfrey and all of the metrosexual assholes in charge of the media. If I was that afraid of a cat, I think I'd just end it all.
I was going to go out and get a start on some yard work, but since it's down to 48 degrees now I think I'll snuggle into my onesie and have some hot cocoa. I don't want to die either..................................
Dr. Phil.
That guy needs a beating.

Appropriate, no?
Right on, brother.........
I can't add any comments better that what you both have stated, except to say "dr" phil should be forced to listen to 12 hours of metallica, danzig and godsmack and then have his beating.
The baby pulled its tail, then the dad kicked the cat, what the hell was the family expecting of the cat..the place was tiny for a big ole girl who was used to having some semblance of a place to put her big butt..but back to the wuss of a dad for the baby boy, my husband is not fond of cats, we have two they behave or out to the deck they go and it is cold most of the year then it gets white hot, they don't give us any grief, they sit in the cat thingies we bought for them and sleep a lot..When someone tried to pick up our oldest gal when I walked to the post box to retrieve mail she nearly went batcrapcrazy when I said the lady don't touch her, it is 100 today and she is too hot, when that woman tried to get our big girl she scratched her and hightailed into our home never to be seen for about 8 hours, the lady never made a comment on how big she was or tried to touch her ever again..we don't hit our cats, make them stay in 100 degree heat, outside all the time no we don't..Our girl who is huge never minds anyone but us, she stays inside getting older and doesn't hurt anyone, I thought the guy a real ass you know what an animal will let you know if you can tug on their head or butt, really, I cannot stand a person who doesn't respect an animals space and that apt. was toooo damn tiny for a mom, baby, daddy and cat and a tiny tiny dog!
I live in Washington state if you hike up a place and get stranded due to your ignorance your gonna pay a big price for that ignorance, maybe they will come early and maybe they will come late, but for damn sure, oh, hell well they are not gonna risk being injured to get you out of a jam cause of being nuts about conditions..I am always amazed of what hikers say, we are not in Kansas anymore, well jerk face this is Washington state and one doesn't screw with mother nature and not get bitch slapped...they are lucky in the high country of the north cascades where snow is on the mountains most of the year that the ski patrol will even go out to try to find you, they usually wait for spring to retrieve your body..well our only skied up there and when the ski patrol said the conditions were too much of a white out and avalance danger, she never skied preferring to enjoying her place on the mountain to read and relax, we never got a phone call of her being missing or sadly gone..One must respect Mother Nature to the fullest, we just got back from the beach there were signs not to turn ones back on the ocean, really I thought everyone knew that and to not go on logs near the sea, I respect mother nature, we walked for miles and inhaled the sea spray and air, we enjoyed ourselves and respect Mother Nature..
I live in Washington also and grew up on the coast of SouthWest Oregon.
I agree with what you are saying and like you, await the Darwin Awards every year for dumbasses who climb the mountains in the wrong weather and unprepared.
Every few years there is also some dumb kid who gets squished by a log rolling in the surf.
Common sense is apparently not that common anymore.
