Maybe it's time to try a dog. A small dog.
The 911 call in Portland, Ore., on Sunday began with a hint of embarassment, or at least of sense of self-awareness: "Yeah, hi, I have kind of a particular emergency here."
Particular indeed. The voice on the line belonged to Lee Palmer, who called to report that his 22-pound Himalayan cat had gone berserk, attacked his 7-month-old child, and now had Palmer's family trapped inside their bedroom after the father responded by kicking the cat in the butt.
The cat, in other words, had taken the family hostage.
"We aren't safe around the cat," Palmer told the emergency dispatcher in audio (embedded below) obtained by the Oregonian, which contained several statements like, "We're trapped in the bedroom, he won't let us out of our door," and "He's very, very, very, very hostile."

Heh heh heh.
Your story makes a lot more sense. Your friend didn’t take the cat to therapy - he got rid of it.
News media is reporting that the large 22 pound cat is a Himalayan?
We have two male Himalayan cats and they are a mixture of Persion with the Siamese points. (Not like the black and white cat that the lamestream media has shown.)
See below photos of Himalayan cats...
I wouldn’t trust the cat again, especially with a 7 month old in the house.
had a cat like that once....sold it to some traveling Romani cat jugglers.
Any time your cat seems to be just looking at you, what he is actually doing is plotting to kill you...
...it was getting ready to go back to school.

Wonder if the "Mama's Boy" tat is a clue...?
I would have thrown a sheet over it, wadded it up, and thrown the damn cat outside...For Good!!!
"And we have the girlie boy."
Viking Kitteh ???
I couldn’t agree more...something is wrong with the owners, not the cat.
I heard the guy tell the police he kicked the cat to get him away from the baby (I think) so seems his dealing with a pet is pretty suspect.
Maybe the owner needs a one way trip to the euthanist.
Of course, the animal control officer trying to adopt out the cat wasn't so lucky... Pinky the Cat
ITA! I also t hink that maybe it’s time that he man up and grow a pair!
Pussy. Literally in this case. It’s not a Cougar, Jaguar, or even a Bobcat or Lynx. It’s a large housecat. I’ve been attacked one time. I brushed it aside with my boot and walked away. Problem solved.
I would have been embarrassed to make such a call. I wonder if he calls 911 when there is a slasher movie tv or Lena Durham does a nude scene on tv as well...
I love cats but would have kicked that cat’s brains out especially after attacking the baby. I wonder if the vet neutered him or the cat? Wussbag.
