NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — Two stray cats attacked three people after they got into a house in North Platte. "I thought I had seen it all, but I have never seen anything like this," Chief of Police Martin Gutschenritter said Tuesday. A call for help Monday took animal control officer John Pettit to the home of Melissa Breva, Gutschenritter said. Breva told Pettit she had captured two cats in a bedroom."She said the cats had gotten into the house when the front door was open," Gutschenritter said, ...
"They meowed something about wanting to 'rock this town and rip this place apart'"
... then attacked two women who were visiting Breva. One, Wendy Holliday, suffered scratches, the chief said, and she was bitten on both ankles, both knees and on her left calf. . . .
She was hospitalized and treated for cat scratch fever.
Authorities want to find out who owned the cats. Under city ordinance, cats may run free ...
and strut right by with their tails in the air
... if they don't become nuisances.
