Some People’s Pets

Last Friday in the Victoria Municipality of Saanich, B.C.; police received a call from a frantic woman.  She said she had been attacked and was barricaded in her bedroom with her assailant still in the house.  When the police arrived at her residence and assessed the situation they felt they had to call for back-up.

It took the combined efforts of a police crew and a member of the local pound to capture and subdue the woman’s attacker; an 18-pound domestic cat.  The cat had started biting it’s mistress and then chased her first into the bedroom then, by the time the police arrived, into the hallway of her apartment building.

Pound Officer Bill Storey said, "It was going crazy, or wild.  There were a few times it was charging right at you."  After a struggle the cat was taken into custody using a long animal-catcher pole.

SPCA branch manager said it was "quite odd for a cat to do that.  I’ll be honest with you, I’m more afraid of cats than dogs.  Cats are fast and sneaky.  A dog always tell you what it’s going to do, but a cat doesn’t."

Police took the cat to the Elk Lake Veterinary Hospital where it was reportedly put down.  The cat’s owner was described as "traumatized and heartbroken" by the whole ordeal.

As I have mentioned before you can’t train a cat.  That and the fact that a dog will "always tell you what it’s going to do", are just two good reasons to prefer the canines over the felines.  Not only that, but some dogs will even tell you what you should do.  Just look at David Berkowitz.
