Tinley Park Dog Owner Calls Cops -- On a Cat The cat now can't get out of a shelter until there's proof it had a rabies shot. A small black-and-white pet cat so terrorized a Tinley Park resident and his 70-pound Labrador that the man called the cops, police said. The man emerged from the cat attack on 71st Court unscathed "due to him wearing pants," police said, but his dog wasn't so lucky. The Lab was left cut and bloodied, the man reportedly told police, and had to be cleaned up when he got back home. An officer went to the man's house and checked the yellow Lab out but "could not see any redness or wounds on the dog's face," police said. The 33-year-old man told how he had been walking his dog on 71st when an "unknown black cat" darted off a porch and "attacked both him and his 9-year-old male yellow Labrador," police said. The cat weighs about 10 to 12 pounds, according to police. A neighbor told police about a resident who "does own an aggressive black cat that runs at large every day," but no one answered the door at her house. The dog-owner claimed the "cat had been aggressive for a while," police said, but conceded "this was the first time it made contact with him and his dog." An officer later tracked down a "black cat with a white chest and white paws," police said. "As (the officer) neared the cat it got onto its back and raised all four paws up in the air." The cat was wearing a pink collar and a tag imprinted with the name "Kelli" and a telephone number. It was not clear if Kelli is the name of the cat or its owner. An officer reportedly called the number and left a voicemail message, then transported the cat to the People's Animal Welfare Society, a no-kill shelter. The officer "advised the cat could not be released prior to providing proof of a rabies vaccine." look at that cats pic! it wanted belly rubs! not vicious attacker come on |

One friend of mine had a next-door neighbor whose miniature poodle was frequently put outside to yap and disturb the entire block. My friend's twenty pound marmalade tomcat would periodically decide he'd had enough, go over and beat up on the dog, and the neighborhood enjoyed peace and quiet until the dog forgot, and needed another lesson. Another friend had a fairly large tiger-stripe who had a neighbor's two boxers so terrorized they'd pull their owner across the street, rather than walk pass her house. (The cat would lie in wait in the hedge, then leap out at the dogs when they came past.) |

I like dogs, but would never pet one without letting it sniff my hand and indicate it was willing to let me touch it. |

Cats CAN terrorize dogs, when they've a mind to.
We got our Marblecake because as a 12-week-old kitten she was beating the hell out of her family's Labrador-sized dog. Her littermate sister was fine with it but Marblecake was a Cat with Attitude from birth. Now she just beats the hell out of her son Ollie instead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

The officer "advised the cat could not be released prior to providing proof of a rabies vaccine." I guess the rules are different in Illinois. In California, if a pet animal bites someone, it has to be quarantined for 10 days. That's because the animal will start to exhibit clear symptoms of rabies within 10 days of the first incident of aggression. If those symptoms don't develop, then the animal is released from quarantine. -- Joyce "Yes, but humans are more important than animals," said Brutha.

Whoever was confused by this is not an animal person! Who puts their own name on a cat collar? (OK, maybe they would put their full name so you could look them up in a phone book, but a first name isn't very helpful.) It's obviously a girlkitty named Kelli. Joyce |
