Despite the internet’s love affair with cats, there can be no denying that the little felines often have some real attitude problems. In fact, the fur balls usually demonstrate a wanton disregard for human beings and their belonging (see exhibit A, below).

Well one cat has taken its reign of terror a little further than most by physically evicting its owner from his house. That’s right, a man in Stamford, Connecticut has been forced to flee his home because of his overly aggressive pet kitty.

But far from accepting his fate as a homeless man – which probably would have been the honourable thing to do after be deposed by a small domesticated creature – the cat owner in question called the police for back-up, with a recording of the emergency 911 call quickly going viral. You can listen to it here:

In case you couldn’t make that out, the unnamed caller said: “My cat was getting too aggressive, and I was inside, and then he attacked me, he scratched me in my leg and he bite me.”

He continued: “So me and my wife, we come outside, and now we cannot go in the home for like three to four hours.”

In a tone that was more begrudging and bewildered than actually concerned, the dispatcher agreed to send an officer out to deal with the issue. And with the track record of the US police these days, it is safe to say the cat has probably been shot (although as we cannot verify the colour of the cat, we cannot confirm or deny these claims).

The fearsome feline reportedly weighed a little over seven pounds, which, following some thorough investigative journalism, we can tell you is roughly the same as: a four-slice toaster; a newborn baby; or, more adorably, two boxes of wine. The horror, the horror.
