Cat terrorizes family

WHAT THE FRICK IS going on?????

(Reuters) - A rampaging, 22-pound Oregon house cat with a "history of violence" attacked a baby and trapped a family and their dog in a bedroom at their Portland home before being captured by police, authorities said on Monday.

The Sunday evening incident began when the cat, a black-and-white Himalayan, scratched a 7-month-old baby in the face, according to Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sergeant Pete Simpson.

The baby's father kicked the cat in the backside, which sent it into a rage, and the parents and baby, along with their dog, retreated into a bedroom as the father called police, Simpson said.

Meanwhile, the cat blocked the bedroom doorway and could be heard on the 911 call screeching loudly, Simpson said.

22 lbs is pretty big, but I think cowering in your room is unnecessary. Man card revoked.

The dog was cowering into the room as well? This must have been one badass cat.

Did they say what kind of dog it was? I'm guessing probably not a pitbull.

This is what I was thinking...I don't care how big of a cat it is...it 'attacks' my baby/family/anybody and Mr. Whiskers gets to meet Mr. 12 gauge.

Depends on the dog. Any dog under say, 50#'s, and my $ is on the feline!

That dog would have been slaughtered.

What a huge waste of community resources. They should send him a bill.

I'm not an animal hater...in fact, I own several animals. But if I'm to the point where my animal has me "trapped" anywhere and is basically going bat crap crazy, then I will pull out my gun and I will shoot it.

Especially if they mess with my child.

I would have Ryan succoped that cat out of my house.

That guy should have to wear a sign that says: "I'm scared of a pussy"

Yep, I would have been testing out the old nine lives theory. When my cats get frisky they get to sleep outside.

And if that cat would have scratched my kid, I would have choked it. I would say, choked it slowly so I could watch it die a slow horrible death, but some may have been offended by that.

Or as my wife would say, "Kicked it through the goalposts of life"

You guys act like this is the first time you heard of a cat scratching a kid. Since it was a family pet, I would go out on a limb and say the rug rat was aggravating the cat (and mom and dad were saying oh look how cute he is playing with the cat) then the dad who turned out to be the real pussy overreacted when he kicked the cat. Kids are always bothering family pets, maybe the two shouldn't be put in a room together.

agreed watch your kids. all these people saying they would have kicked the crap out of the cat. well the dad did that and how did it turn out. no reason to kick the cat. a very minor scratch to the face it's not like the cat really went after the kid.

I have a dog and she is great. I love her very much but one time she snapped at my daughter who was only wanted her attention and the dog was testing boundaries. I threw the table over trying to get to my dog. She has not snapped since. My daughter is my daughter and not a dog.

That said, the problem here is cats. They are not to be trusted.lol

I also would not trust a pit bull or a Chow around my child. They are just too dangerous if they snap.
