"(Reuters) - A rampaging, 22-pound Oregon house cat with a "history of violence" attacked a baby and trapped a family and their dog in a bedroom at their Portland home before being captured by police, authorities said on Monday."

When I was a child we had a phrase “Meaner Than Cat ****”
And that would be refereeing to us.
No pic of that hissing hellcat?
The cat doesn't know any better, probably just wanted to play. The parents should have enough sense to not let animals near a baby.
And it's beyond bizarre that two adults couldn't deal with a cat -- when the police arrived the cat just jumped up on the refrigerator and they were able to capture it without incident -- if the cat had bit them or scratched them, we would have heard about it.
Any pet that attacked my child would be killed.
With prejudice.
Period.
A “pit cat.” Who’d have thunk it?
here kitty kitty... where are you?
“How can a 22lb cat trap a grown woman...much less a man?”
This is Portland we’re talking about. Neither the men nor the women perfectly fit the definition of “grown”. Nor do they fit the definition of men and women.
“Shoot the Kitteh.
Problem solved.”
It’s Portland. Your solution is invalid for obvious reasons.
Shouldhave just let’m HAVE the beer...saved a 5k response.
Unless this is an unusual cat breed, it seriously needs to be put on a diet. Overfeeding, another form of animal cruelty.
LOL
I would, at a minimum, put a contract on that cougar.
I think your message was meant to be directed at someone else, as I never posted what you were quoting. Just a friendly FYI. Too many sidhe on the keyboard?
There was probably not a female officer(ette) at the scene. Females stomp cats to death.
Cute lil feller.
Makes me think of my lil guy.
He’s just the best baby. So loving, so full of joy, loves to play and happy to learn new disciplines.
He’s a Cocker Spaniel and the best.
Sadly Cockers are known for hip displacia and thin bones.
He’s only 3 and a couple days ago, somehow, he cracked his pelvis.
He wants to be held, lay right next to me, kisses me constantly (he’s normally not a kisser) and paws at me, as if to beg “Please! Help me! I hurt and I know you can make it go away!”.
Sadly, I can’t fix it.
We’ve crated him, to prevent further injury.
Makes me sick.
I never, ever yell at him. Not even when he somehow got a hold of my wallet. $600 bucks torn up, had to replace all my credit cards, my dues card for Masonry, my county gun safety card and he ate two 1$100 bills.
A friend said he’d be pissed. I picked him up saying “Look at this punk. Is this the face anyone could be mad at?”
You’d have to see this pig.
Just the best. He didn’t mean anything by it. He just wanted to chew on something that smelled like me and it made him feel wo good.
I chalked it up to him being a baby.
I had a talk with him, as he looked sheepish, like he couldn’t help it.
Big baby. He didn’t mean it. I love him.
Hopefully, he will heal but, I fear our days of hide & seek and fetch are over.
We’ll find other ways to entertain each other. If I have to I’ll make a little cart, so he can drag his broken ass around.
The good news is he lives in a day and age where God has made the arts and sciences available to man and he can be operated on, if it comes down to it, and be healed.
I pray to God he will heal and continue being....well....himself.
Po baby.
Gonna have create a new system to groom and bath him.
Pig.
I find buckshot works best.
Ya, we had cats that did that, and very promptly met a sudden end.
Just heard the call on FOX this morning. These people are dopes. They should have never had a cat with a toddler. Seems like the little kid probably whacked the cat, the cat scratched him, then the Dad said he smacked the cat, which was stupid.
Then they hid in the bedroom like the wimps they are.
Just pathetic.
