Miss, get a hold of your wild cat
ENGLEWOOD Nov. 4 A resident in the 400 block of Heather Street reported he was attacked by his neighbor’s cat.
The complainant said the cat got on his front screen door and agitated his dog, and when he opened the door and tried to get it off the door the cat went “crazy.”
He advised it bit his right hand, leaving four puncture wounds and scratched his right forearm before running back to his neighbor’s house. Medics treated the complainant’s injuries.
A witness said the complainant’s daughter returned from walking the dog — a boxer — and that the cat ran after it. The girl was able to get the dog in the house, but the cat jumped on the screen door and hung on until the complainant tried to remove it.
The witness also said the cat went crazy as if it were a wild animal.
The cat’s owner said the animal ran outside when she opened the door. She also said it was 6 months old and had not received any shots.
The owner was advised that the cat needed to be quarantined for 10 days. She was issued a summons for animal restraint.
