Pet cat holds family hostage, survives by calling 911....Suncat?

[Darrell KSR]

Ever receive any calls like this one?

Sorry, I can't imagine even a "22 pound" cat holding my family "hostage." Somehow, I think I could take him without needing the assistance of the police authorities.

Here kitty, kitty, kitty...........

A 22 pound cat? My God, what is that cat eating? But more importantly, what DOESN'T it eat?

And do those people have any kids missing?

What a family protector. Hope a vicious squirrel doesn't do a home invasion on this fearless man.

Scanned the story quick to find out the breed, Himalayans get big and can have tempers, but it's not going to rip your arm off like a chimp or orangutan, it's going to claw you while you get a blanket over it and get it crated. You'll live.

What a girly man. Called the police on a house cat.

Cats can be fierce. I saw a tv reporter trying to promote a animal shelter. The cat attacked horribly enough on the crotch.

I would say wear a cup, gloves, and jacket he should be alright.

Odd and scary.

A squirt gun loaded with ammonia, a baseball bat, a golf club, or a sling shot anyone?

If that cat had attacked my seven month old I wouldn't be getting a blanket or a bat. I would have a butcher knife in my hand.

Rule #15: Never, ever confront an angry cat up close. Electric cattle prods work well. Pepper spray is effective too. But when all else fails, a .22-250 is a great equalizer.

And CBBN is 100% correct! What kind of little wussy boy calls the po-lice on a cat? I mean, c'mon, dude, you called the po-lice on a cat?

Some people just should not be allowed to breed..........:Christz_pillepalle:

And sorry Darrell, I did not answer your original question: no, in all the years that I've been on the job, I have never had a "bad kitty" call. Dog calls, alligator calls, skunk & possum calls, bears, panthers, snake calls, various birds, deer, wild pigs, but never a cat. Not once.

Gosh, no "The Andy Griffith Show" fans here? I was quite proud of that quote/fit here!

Well, thank heavens you have avoided *that* life-threatening danger!

One other animal call I've not been on, but I know a couple of guys that have been, and they both just got ate up........bad & escaped monkey calls. I kid you not, two different incidents, both officers tried to capture a monkey and the monkey got the better part of the deal both times.
My take on monkey calls.........call the experts at Animal Control, or the Florida Wildlife Commission.

Oh, I'm sitting at my desk and this call comes in: one of the local banks just called, they have a snake inside the bank, the bank staff is freaking out! So, we have our resident snake expert Deputy enroute to identify what kind of snake it is and perhaps remove it from the inside of the premises.

I love my job!!

[suncat05]

It was a black snake.

Monkeys are more dangerous, now you're talking about a wild animal with enough teeth and viciousness to send you to the ER if they get at you the right way. Probably not kill you, but tear you up to needing stitches or lose a finger or something. I'd just shoot those suckers. At least get a big strong net.

suncat -- 22-250 is a good varmint round for sure, but from 2 feet? What do you hunt deer with, 50 Cal? :)

When I moved to Lexington I was amazed how many squirrel there were when we used to go hiking for hours to hunt them. I proposed we hunt some over on UK's campus but just use a package of fries and a hammer. The best part is when people aren't quite sure if you're serious or not. :)
