'Potentially dangerous' cat returns home

Minneapolis animal control authorities said a cat that has twice been impounded for attacking dogs is one of only two felines labeled "potentially dangerous."

Dan Niziolek, manager of Minneapolis Animal Care and Control, said Hoppy the cat, was returned to its home Tuesday after it was impounded for the second time in two years for attacking passing people and dogs, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Wednesday.

Niziolek said Hoppy is one of only two cats considered by the city to be "potentially dangerous," while there are about 140 dogs with the label on their records.

Hoppy had been scheduled to be euthanized by the city in 2007 after attacking a dog owner passing his home, but the ruling was overturned on an appeal by the cat's owner, Leo Noltimier, 82.

I have seen fully equipped male barn cats beat up German Shepards, and then laugh about it.

Actually, that raccoon (a pregnant female) has been fed by the owners of that house (my in-laws) for years. I keep telling them it's not such a hot idea, but they do it anyway. Oh well.
