Cat holds family hostage, police called to scene
A woman and her (adult) daughter were forced to call the police after they were taken hostage - by their pet cat.
According to police in southern California, the pair made the 911 call after they were forced to take refuge in a bedroom as Cuppy the cat would attack them whenever they tried to leave.
Let's have a look at the culprit.
Yikes.
Although animal control would usually have been sent, police officers already in the area showed up and rescued the two distraught ladies by softly calling Cuppy - who is 14 years old - until he eventually gave himself up.
“He’s just a ball of fury I guess,” neighbor Karen Yarger said.
We can see that.
It's in the eyes...
