Oregon family dials 911 - held hostage by 22-pound pet cat

An Oregon family were forced to dial 911 after their 22-pound pet cat went berserk and held them hostage in their own home.

Lee Palmer and partner Teresa Barker were holed up in their Portland bedroom Sunday after bad mog Lux scratched their 7-month-old child in the face before seriously freaking out.

I wonder if it has a bit of lynx or bobcat in it's ancestry..


Just personally ~ I wouldn't leave any pets unattended around a baby; and as for people continually getting animals that they are personally incapable of handling...    ::-3::

I seriously hope they have it in quarantine pending rabies determination....

when a cat suddenly changes its behaviour like that in an area where rabies is endemic (America) thats GOT be be a concern...unless of course its been vaccinated against it.....

NO!!!! the animal is not suitable to be homed, should be put down.
IF cats where held to the same standards as dogs it would be put down no questions asked.
IF it where a large dog then Definitely there would be no option than put it down.

NO ONE accepts "ohh the 70kg rottweiler got it tail pulled then got kicked so it was just reacting when it attacked and cornered it's owners in their own home."
Apply the same standards.
