Soooo, this happened. Lee Palmer and his young family found themselves trapped in a bedroom after their house cat went into full attack mode. The 22-pound Himalayan swiped at a 7-month-old baby, the owner kicked him in the rear and that's when all hell broke loose. They escaped to a bedroom where they
called 911 for help:
Owner Lee Palmer told dispatchers the 4-year-old male cat "has a history of violence," and had scratched his 7-month old son in the forehead.
Palmer said he tried to get the cat off his son: "I kicked the cat in the rear, and it has gone over the edge. He's trying to attack us -- he's very hostile. He's at our door; he's charging us."
The dispatcher asked her supervisor if it was OK to send police on such an unusual call. It was. Meanwhile, on the 911 tape, the cat can be heard screaming in the background.
