Trapped the family in the bedroom? What, did he padlock the door? Even at 22lb, a housecat should be no match for an adult human.

How can a 22lb cat trap a grown woman...much less a man?

Dead kitty.

Instantly

I’d use it’s stiff corpse for something appropriate.

I’d take its paws and as rigormortis sets in i’d set them so I could use the punk as a toilet bowl brush.

They didn’t shoot the cat! They only captured it!

Probably because they get no attaboys for shooting cats. Only dogs.

Maybe Oregon has recently legalized Catnip and the young cats owner wouldn’t give him any money to buy some....

Ok so that put QUITE a picture in my head. You’ve thought this through, right? ;}
Sounds like what my neighbor said as I described a cat that had “violated” the pet-human contract. She was rumored to have a “screw loose” but I wondered about “kitty schizophrenia.” Lying purring on a human lap, she would then claw and bite for a few seconds - be shoved off the lap and land on the ground - look around a little and then try to get back on the human lap for more petting, then act insulted when not allowed. I crossed a room and this cat attacked my legs, slapping left-right with paws - her claws getting caught in the fabric of my pants. It wasn’t play - you CAN tell when they are playing.
Anyway, the owner asked me to write a Kitty Adoption advertisement - now THAT was tough trying to write an enticing advertisement that includes the information that the cat will attack unprovoked. To my utter amazement - the vet technician at the beast’s veterinarian’s office gave that thing a home the DAY it was brought to the office to be euthanized (for violent tendencies) - even after I clarified previously alluded to ...ahem...”her street manners!”
My friend, listening to this account said something like your toilet-bowl-brush comment. His was more veiled - should a cat violate certain assumed contractual agreements...said cat would meet with overwhelming negative consequences which would, without a doubt, prohibit those unwanted behaviors from EVER occurring again.....I like yours better - bolder and visual, IMHO.
