'Berserk' house cat sends owner to hospital

[Hum]

HAILEY, Idaho (AP) -- A house cat attacked its owner, sending her to the hospital by ambulance with more than 20 bite wounds.

The cat, a black and white domestic male, went on the rampage Wednesday when a neighbor showed up at the door with a different cat, mistakenly thinking it belonged to the woman.

"She went to the door, and her cat went berserk," Jeff Nevins, assistant fire chief for Wood River Fire and Rescue, told the Idaho Mountain Express.

The woman in her 60s was taken to St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center with what Nevins described as "pretty serious puncture wounds." Neither the hospital nor the fire department would provide any details to The Associated Press on Saturday, or say whether she has been released.

"I think the owner said she was going to take it to the shelter because that's not the first time she's been attacked," Nevins said. :unsure:

The cat was prob. never socialized when it was a kitten.

Not allowing a cat outside causes problems too. :laugh:

Blame the owner (seriously).

In 99% of animal attack cases the owners are infact the ones responsible, cause they basically never should have aquired a pet in the first place thanks to their cluelessness.

[nomis_nehc]

when i hear about these things, i am real suspicious to how the animal was treated. my cat, being pampered since i adopted her, is the sweetest kitty anyone will ever meet.

even my friends that are allergic to cats fall in love with her.

I'm also alergic to cats but I still like them, (most of the time!)

I've had my cat bite and scratch me a few times all it takes is you to show whos boss and they usually learn. light smack usually sorts them out.

A tap on the nose is like a wooden spoon on your backside to a cat, trust me. If they attack you tap them on the nose, and they always recoil. Then you stare them down, they get scared, run upstairs an defecate on your bed :D
