A Canadian man had to be rescued by police after his cat went berserk and trapped him in a bathroom.

It took two police officers and animal control officer Ron Sabean, to subdue the seven-year-old cat.

The pet was snarling and hissing at the bathroom door in the house near Greenwood, Nova Scotia, when Mr Sabean arrived.

He said: "I've been in this business going on 24 years and I've never seen a cat focus on a person like that one did."

He had been called by police, who were unable to catch the cat on their own.

Mr Sabean said the cat has lived indoors all its life and has had no contact with other animals.

Although it had previously been good with its owners, it has been known to spit and hiss at strangers.

The trapped man suffered scratches in the incident, reports the Canoe website.

On the bright side he can now trade war stories with Jimmy Carter.

Viking Kitten alert!

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[AppyPappy]

It will do that to a man.

[AppyPappy]

Can you handle this one for me?

Makes me wonder what Mr. Sabean has been doing to his cat.

Trapped by a cat. Hmmm.

Maybe we're not going to miss Canadian support for our military operations in Iraq afterall.

I HATE when that happens

I don't think a cat could trap me in a bathroom. I am, after all, bigger than the cat and can inflict far more damage on the cat than it can on me.

Might as well take a shower.

The guy must be French Canadian

Viking kittens

What happened to them? They've dropped "Overlord" in favor of something about a gay bar??

I guess just stomping the stupid cat would be wrong.

Canucklehead.

[mewzilla]

What is it about cats and bathroom doors?

[eyespysomething]

my cat is a royal B*&^h, and spits and hisses at strangers, my hubby, the kids, the dog, herself. I think she has some sort of brain disorder. She is declawed (no hate messages please), but is still mean as snot.
OTOH, i could punt her out of the house if I had to. Or step on her.
I'm picturing a man in the bathroom, sniveling, calling 911 (or canadian equivalence) "Help me, my cat has me trapped in the bathroom. What? No! Its not a big cat, just my little snookems"

I dunno. I haven't seen a ZOT in the better part of a week now...

That's what I call cattatude!

The unilateral force used to subdo the proscribed cat is obviouly an overeaction. I am convinced the cat could have been contained through peaceful means.

Sheesh! Cat people.
