Police in Oregon issued a "verbal warning" to a cat reportedly seen armed with a gun-shaped stick.

Newport Oregon Police Department shared a photo of a black and white cat perched in a tree with its paw draped over a stick that appeared to resemble an automatic rifle.

Officers responded to the scene and were ultimately able to determine the cat did not pose any real threat.

"Reports of an armed cat this morning were unfounded," police said. "The feline was contacted by our canine and was determined to be in possession of a non-lethal branch."

The officers ended the tongue-in-cheek post by stating the cat had been apprehended and charged with several offenses.

"The cat was given a verbal warning for posing with what could be mistaken as an assault rifle while wearing poor camouflage attire," police said.

All I could find was this one ...

Thank gawd it wasn’t a partially-eaten pop-tart. They’d still be looking for the 3rd-grader that gave it to the cat.

Guess they’ve run out of real crime to pursue. Let’s just waste a bunch of gas, salary, and everything else because we’re bored.

OrangeCat has nine lives and cat-like reflexes. I don’t want to go up against him.
