"A family in Portland, Oregon (no this is not a Portlandia sketch) have called 911 on their family pet — a 10+ kilo black and white Himalayan cat named Lux — in what can only be described as "kind of a particular emergency." The man calling explains to the operator that Lux had attacked his 7-month-old baby (who is fine, and only suffered "puncture wounds") which led him to kick the cat "in the butt," which just made the fat cat lose it and go feral on his owners, trapping them in a bedroom and attacking them any time they tried to leave. Cue 911 call.
After a very distinctive exchange with the operator ("He's try to attack us. He's very very very very hostile,") police were eventually sent to the premises. Officers said the cat attempted to "flee custody" once they arrived. They used a dog snare on Lux (without injury) who was then placed in a crate. The Portland Police Bureau said, "The cat remained behind bars in the custody of the family and officers cleared the scene and continued to fight crime elsewhere in the city." Glad to hear those streets of Portland are keeping free of enraged cats. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU WON'T KICK YOUR CAT."
