Sometimes the Cat is the Offended Party

ABC7 News ran a cat-gone-wild story from Oregon this morning. Apparantly, Lux, a 22-pound Himalayan, did not like having its tail pulled by Jessie, the infant son of Teresa Baker in Oregon. Lux reacted with a swipe to Jessie's forehead, drawing blood. Teresa's boyfriend then decided to separate Jessie from Lux … by kicking Lux. Lux' reaction was enough to send all of the humans to a bedroom, where they locked themselves in and called 911. Let us hope that the unnamed town in Oregon who knows enough about animal welfare to recognize that Lux was the abused party in this matter.
