Lee Palmer, Teresa Barker, the couple’s young son Jesse and even the family’s dog were forced to wait in the bedroom until police arrived, as they feared a confrontation with the nasty kitty.
When officers got there, they brought along a dog snare.
After the cat was behind bars, the family was told they could leave the bedroom. The baby only received a scratch from the feline’s fit of rage and did not require medical attention.
According to a Portland Police Bureau press release ‘The cat remained behind bars in the custody of the family and officers cleared the scene and continued to fight crime elsewhere in the city.’
The family is unsure what Lux’s fate will be and whether or not they will keep the black and white Himalayan.
