Cats Invade House Injuring 3 People

from Breitbart

Two stray cats got into a North Platte, Nebraska house and attacked three people inside, then were euthanized and checked for rabies. The cats entered Melissa Breva's house through an open front door and attacked two women visitors and a boy.

Animal control officers responded to a 911 call for help finding that one woman was scratched and bitten on her legs; the other woman was bitten on her right calf. After talking to the women, the officer went to his truck for snares, then heard screaming from inside the house. He ran back inside and saw a young boy with blood all over his face. He had been bitten on his forehead, nose, left ear and right cheek. All 3 were taken to a local hospital.

The cats were found in a back bedroom, snarling. The officer shot them with a tranquilizer gun and then took them to an animal shelter where they were both euthanized.
