[b]Crazed cat terrorizes Nova Scotia family[/b]
Angry Siamese attacks owner; police called in to subdue feline
DARTMOUTH, N.S. (CP) — A frenzied feline took on a babysitter, a family and the police in a nasty scrap that sent people scurrying out of their home.
Cocoa, the family cat, went on a rampage Sunday evening, forcing a family in Dartmouth to call the police for help.
Staff Sgt. Mike Burns said the Siamese chased the family out of the house and on to the lawn. "This was a Siamese cat with an attitude problem," said Burns. The cat had attacked its owner, tearing the man's pants and giving his leg a few nasty bites.
It took two officers a half hour to catch the cat using a blanket. Burns says the cat would run and hide and then launch itself at them. The capture could have gone much quicker, but the officers were trying not to hurt the crazed animal. Burns says the last the officers saw of the cat, its owners were taking it to an animal hospital.

I wonder if the blanket the LEO's used was a pre-ban/LEO version...
