CATS GONE WILD AND HOSTAGE HUMANS

Crookshanks could be contemplating a hostile take-over.

Another story, this one on Gawker, of a cat holding humans hostage and a slew (maybe just one) of 911 calls being made hit the Internet yesterday.

Everything is true on the 'net, so I will accept this nonsense on a very basic level.

Cappy the kitty, and beloved pet of 14 years, was accused of scratching and clawing (I assume he had to utilize those skills to keep mother and daughter huddled in the bedroom) in San Diego (why does it always seem to be in California?).

Besides, these zany stories about bad-ass felines taking over entire homes and holding humans hostage are compelling in a strange way.

First, how does that even happen?

Guess that will remain a mystery to me. It makes no sense on so many levels.

A normal cat weighs less than twenty pounds, right?

Well, our personal cat shown here could be an exception, but how ferocious and filled with rage is a fat-ass, house cat?

Mostly, like Crookshanks here, I suspect these furry kids can not be bothered. Takes way too much effort to plot and execute an attack when a nice bed is right there!

Actually, the best part of these stories plastered on various (and totally reliable sites, uh-huh) sites are the comments from posters. I recommend pawing through them at your leisure.

Priceless, but I still wonder what that family did to bring such rage, and how did Cappy pull off the entire coup'?

I detest an unsolved mystery!
