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 couples 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.

Whatta "man" !! ... (Click pic for link to story)
Trust me FRiend, my wife would likely have beat me to the shotgun.
You shoulda seen the mess she made of the opossum on the porch!
That could work, but the shotgun method is more.... permanent.
Probably.... but I have learned from long experience that unless you intend to eat small, dangerous game (I think a pi$$ed off 22 lb cat would qualify) a shotgun is more effective.
True. LOL!
Amazing.
This is what results when you get sheltered one’s life. Any potential pain/confrontation is programmed out of them.
If a full grown ‘man’ can’t stand up to a freaking POd cat, what are the odds he will stand up to an authority figure violating the hell out of his/families’ rights? Zero. Which is of course why they do it...
‘They’ meaning every liberal/pussified parent that insists that boys must be dressed in full armor plating to ride a bicycle, a skateboard and such. ‘They’ who deemed lawn darts too dangerous for children to use. ‘They’ who end up divorcing their husbands because little Johnny will NEVER! be allowed to play that brutal sport Football, or any other contact sport...or any activity at all that could result in damafe to his self esteem.
As to the pain factor:
Back when we walked uphill to school...in the snow...both ways!, we did all sorts of things that resulted in pain. Pain was the price of fun sometimes. It also instilled a dew lessons. Climbing trees and falling out of them, pretending we were Evil Kenevil and Fonzie jumping bicycles over everything we could find, tackle football and hockey with no pads whatsoever, camping out in snow and rain...
Oh...and the occasional fight resulting in broken noses and lots of abrasion.
Pain is a factor in molding the person you become. More specifically, learning how to deal with it. In this case, I’d guess that Dad never got in a fight as a kid and was utterly terrified of the pain the cat would inflict on him. He was programmed to avoid conflict and listened to the advice all libs give/program into men and women alike. Don’t defend yourself or eliminate the threat...run away from it.
America 2014. Great place.
While I’m in rant mode, this sorta ties in...
I have debated over the years, the whole 21 drinking age’ thing. It’s not the drinking thing but it’s the age/responsibility thing that I’m really getting at here with the following, as it relates to pussified men AND women.
On one hand, much of society (Henceforth MOS)says that pre teens should be taught about all manner of sex and encouraged to ‘experiment’. MOS says that Court orders or less can emincipate kids prior to 18 for any number of reasons. MOS says all manner of things that make no sense whatsoever.
And much of it conflicting. Yet they are law.
How is one responsible at 17 to drive a tank and kill but just a child that will be ticketed if he rides a bicycle sans helmet when home on leave?
How is one responsible enough to help determine the election of a president, but not responsible enough to have a beer after a day at work?
Really. How? Confusing right? And lets not forget 27 YO ‘kids’ on dad’s insurance.
Confusing young men is part and parcel to controlling and programming them...for us all really. But as Kruschev said ‘We won’t get you, but we will get your children”.
Most young men are QUITE confused on a number of issues, by design. On one hand, they are fed porn from literally kindergarten. On another, if they act on all their Sex ed/free love education, they are rapists, oppressors and sexual abusers.
I have read stories right on FR where parents had CPS called on them for allowing (horrors!) their kid to rife a bike in a cul de sac. Literally. If they trespass on the King’s federal/state land, they are ticketed/parents dragged into court.
It’s endless. Teachers of feminism degrade them throughout grade school and college telling them they are bad for being born. Every thing they do is condemned as ‘paternalist macho BS’. They are programmed at every level by MOS to become what many if not most HAVE become...again, by design.
Pussified.
Again, it is pretty clear to me how a boy grows into a man that cannot defend his family against a cat. And while this situation may seem an extreme example, it really isn’t. How many times each and every day do ‘men’ do things like this that don’t make the news? How many times to they simply not DO anything at all to avoid the mere potential for conflict they may be unable to deal with?
Once upon a time there were fewer ‘bad parts of town’ because men refused to let their neighborhoods go to hell. Today, the bad part of town is most of it because ferals run wild and ‘men’ hide inside instead of beating the hell out of the problem and instiling fear in the problem’s friends.
Worked for thousands of years for literally billions of men. Then “Civilization” happened and “We don’t do that anymore”...
Yea. Which is why Johnny can’t rife his bike in the cul de sac without someone calling the cops and little Suzy fears her 8 YO neighbor lives only to rape and oppress her.

ROFL!
Nope, not at all. This dog was the "neighborhood tough," and as such, he chased the cat up a tree. After a few minutes, when the dog was satisfied with itself and turned to wander off, the cat jumped out of the tree, onto the back of the dog and did some damage. When the dog couldn't get it off it's back, the dog first tried scraping the cat off, using the tree, then rolling over, and at that point that cat latched onto the dog's belly and started raking the dog's belly with it's hind claws. Like I said, it took over 60 stitches to close the dog's wounds.

DANG!
I would grab it and throw it across the room. Hopefully, it would calm down after smacking against the opposite wall.
You can't trust any living thing around a 7-month-old baby until they prove themselves. Some older pets can be trusted after you have had a long chance to observe them; but for most animals and unknown humans, better safe than sorry.
He is in business to make money. If he had a failure, or a cat he couldn't help, he wouldn't show that episode on TV.
