PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland police had to be called in to subdue a 22-pound house cat that trapped its owners inside their bedroom after attacking their baby.
The baby was not injured in the Sunday incident.

Now that is just wrong.
bwahaha!
Best laugh I have had in a week..maybe a month...
Amazing!!
What will they think of next?
Time for a size 14 Red Wing.
Feral cats can be very dangerous, as they are or have become nonsocialized. They’re used to fighting for the things they need. Cute and cudly is not often their default mode. In other words, keep s full can of RAID handy, then blast that little beast directly in the choppers as with Mace. Of course, keep the spray away from little junior..
My cat is fat,
So now, I'll dine
And gobble up

I have a better solution.
Don’t adopt feral cats. BTW, have you seen this?

In “The Prehistory of the Far Side,” Gary Larson reprinted a dozen of the comments he received from readers who objected to that cartoon.
Jeeeezzzz.......
That is one bad assed cat.
Looks like he was getting ready to kill the dog next.
Hope the dog is ok.
We’ve adopted cats from the shelter, and we’ve taken in unwanted cats. Our family has never had problems. As a matter of fact, we’ve never had any problems with our dogs either.
Yeah, the dog wanted in too. That cat was entering the gate when the video ended.
I was born and raised around dogs and cats. I could see that outcome coming from a mile away.
Some cat lovers are pretty strange.
Cat on the Rag.
Yes that is one bad ass cat that was bullied by that woman. I hope she was not injured badly but a few scratches seem about right.
ps
Years ago when I lived in Venezuela I had an Ocelot for a few days. The maid quit, my wife hid in the bedroom and he and I had a fight over the steak I had just brought home from the store. He and I actually got along but between the maid and my wife (a man “got to know his limitations” and his wife’s and maids forbearance and understanding) I sadly returned the cat to its former owners.
In retrospect I should have kept the cat and increased the salary of the maid and put the wife on a plane to Miami.
In "Prehistory of the Far Side", Larson said that he thought that what bothered people about the cartoon was that there was no escape for the cat. In a typical animated cartoon, if a cat is run over or blown up, a few seconds later he has recovered and is back in action:
There's never a suggestion that the cat's suffering is anything but transitory. In a single panel cartoon, however, no resolution is possible. The dogs play 'tethercat' forever....I suppose some people may have appreciated a disclaimer at the bottom of the cartoon saying, 'Note: A few minutes later, the cat escaped, returned with a bazooka and blew the dogs away.' (Of course, now I'm on the dogs' case.)
Larson was great.
I’ve been a fan of Larson for some time. I once presented a Far Side calender to a bandmember for Christmas. She did not appreciate the humor. :^)
It’s a cartoon, for Pete’s sake. Cat lovers need to find a hobby.
Ocelots are beautiful felines, but I’ve never been one to subscribe to the adoption of wild animals. They may appear to behave as domesticated animals, but they are wild. Think Siegfried & Roy.
I suppose I am something of a cat lover, but that cartoon was intended to show nothing more than a dog's ridiculous anti-cat fantasy.
