Maybe it's time to try a dog. A small dog.
The 911 call in Portland, Ore., on Sunday began with a hint of embarassment, or at least of sense of self-awareness: "Yeah, hi, I have kind of a particular emergency here."
Particular indeed. The voice on the line belonged to Lee Palmer, who called to report that his 22-pound Himalayan cat had gone berserk, attacked his 7-month-old child, and now had Palmer's family trapped inside their bedroom after the father responded by kicking the cat in the butt.
The cat, in other words, had taken the family hostage.
"We aren't safe around the cat," Palmer told the emergency dispatcher in audio (embedded below) obtained by the Oregonian, which contained several statements like, "We're trapped in the bedroom, he won't let us out of our door," and "He's very, very, very, very hostile."

Pathetic at best. This is what a liberal male is, scared of a damn cat.
What a pussy.
I got jumped by three damn dogs taking out my trash one morning...I kicked the shit out them while yelling my ass off...as I went for the iron bar in the back of my truck...they scurried off pretty damn quick...
I already know I can kill a dog with my bare hands...I can kill a few with a blunt object...
Guess they figured it out too...
WTF has happened to the American male?
I would move out of town in shame if I were this dad...
I love cats. A cat that attacks a family member is going for the one-way trip to the vat. A cat that “traps” me and/or mine is getting a .22 injection.
*vet
Okay,let’s relax and have a double latte mocha cappuccino whey!
Vat worked for me.
He should have employed a SYG.
I have bears rummaging through my trash in the mornings sometimes. I finally figured out what keeps them away.
I take one of the smaller 1 qt size pump sprayers with the handle on the lid and I fill it with a 1/2 - 1/2 mixture of
Walmart’s Lousianna Pete’s HOT HOT sauce and water. Spray the lids to the trash bins and around the sides. Problem solved. Washes off in the rain pretty well.
It wouldn’t even have occurred to me to call 911 over a house cat going wild in my house...
Also into extortion, loansharking and prostitution.
Come and get me coppers!
This is atypical behavior for a cat. I can guess that these people do not know how to treat cats—whatever they are doing around that cat is the wrong thing.
They need to have that guy from Animal Planet show up and teach them how to get along with their cat. Or find the cat a home with someone who is familiar with cats.
I have had several cats over the years. I never have had an aggression issue. Right now, I have issues with them looking at me, loudly purring, and climbing on me because they want breakfast.
OMG!!!..that’s perfect...LMAO
Vat? Are you sure you didn’t mean kettle? http://youtube.com/watch?v=NmXxrMC5Pv4
Good tip.....they were the white trash neighbors dogs...
Told him the next day if he didn’t keep his dogs locked up I would leave their heads on his porch...so they didn’t kill a little kid walking to school...
End of problem...
They finally moved...
Yup...the most violent things my cats have ever doen is catch a mouse...
The second to last one we got (and still have) was a stray my daughter had to have...she would bite and try and scratch you if you tried to pet her...
So I taught the cat a lesson....
I got her a puppy...
I guess getting pinned and head licked for a half hour without proper notice took the wind out of her sails....
LOL
Bwahaha! Love that movie! Let’s bring out the holy handgrenade!

_______________________________________________
I always have an average of 5-6 cats. I have never seen one show aggression towards humans, but times are a bit testy at the moment. My dog has five, 2 week old, puppies on the front porch. Needless to say, she is a bit testy about the cats and people that she does not know, such as a meter reader now, even though they normally get along fine together. Three of the cats cats are now holding out on safer ground, away from the house.
