PORTLAND, Ore. — A crazed cat is behind bars after it attacked a baby and held an Oregon family hostage in a bedroom, forcing them to call 911.
According to KPTV, the ferocious feline — a 22-pound Himalayan named Lux — “went over the edge” Sunday evening after it was punished for scratching a couple’s 7-month-old baby. The baby was not injured.
When the peeved pet began charging at its owners, the family and their dog hid in a bedroom, where they called 911.
"He's got kind of a history of violence," the caller said, adding that the cat continued to charge whenever they tried to open the door.

Good to know.
Pack instinct. No pack, no balls.
Sounds like a democrat demoncat.
My Maine Coon weighs 23#. The only time he gets upset is when I get him out of my place on the couch.
Brilliant!
Cats are DIFFERENT. Not evil. Dogs are slavish and sycophantic (and I love ‘em for it!) and cats are more equal cohabitors.
LMAO!
I honestly haven’t weighed the big ol’ fur ball, but he’s HUGE. Sweetest cat I’ve ever had, too. We adopted him - some jackball named him “Binky”. He doesn’t seem to mind.
Not completely true. Cats come in a variety of temperaments and it's usually how they were handled during their first few weeks as a kitten that will leave a lasting impact on it's behavior. Also, cats need to have their own space. Sometimes the lay out of the home can affect a cat's behavior.
Personally, I never trust any animal around children.

Friend of mine had a large cat that was a war machine, it’d killed a couple dogs, 3 or so raccoons and at least a half dozen stray cats, but he loved little kids, they could play with him like he was a Stretch Armstrong doll.
They are also art critics which make them worse. "Mew doin it wrong"

OK. I’ve seen the video of this story and I’ve seen the dog. It MIGHT weigh a pound, dripping wet.
See? You just can’t trust ‘em.
