HAILEY, Idaho (AP) - A house cat attacked its owner, sending her to the hospital by ambulance with more than 20 bite wounds.
The cat, a black and white domestic male, went on the rampage Wednesday when a neighbor showed up at the door with a different cat, mistakenly thinking it belonged to the woman.
"She went to the door, and her cat went berserk," Jeff Nevins, assistant fire chief for Wood River Fire and Rescue, told the Idaho Mountain Express.
The woman in her 60s was taken to St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center with what Nevins described as "pretty serious puncture wounds." Neither the hospital nor the fire department would provide any details to The Associated Press on Saturday, or say whether she has been released.
"I think the owner said she was going to take it to the shelter because that's not the first time she's been attacked," Nevins said.

If we see a rash of these reports over the next few weeks I would have to say it is a precursor to "something". Kinda reminds me of the reports of shark attacks in the summer of 2001.

Been there. Scared a cat shouting during a Cards game. The kitty showed her displeasure...no hospital, but many, many scratches over one foot....

Me too!
I was wearing shorts, and had the cat sound asleep in my lap when my daughter snuck up and shrieked at the top of her lungs. The resulting high-speed burnout across my thighs left scars that are still there today...
