Tuesday, November 10
NORTH PLATTE, Neb., March 15 (UPI) -- Police in North Platte, Neb., are awaiting word on rabies tests on two rampaging stray cats that injured three people.
Animal control officer John Pettit told the North Platte Telegraph that he responded to a call for help and found two women with numerous bites and scratches and the two cats closed up in a bedroom.
A boy also was attacked when he opened the bedroom door. All three people went to a hospital for treatment.
The cats apparently had wandered in through the open front door and attacked the people inside for no apparent reason, officers told the Telegraph.
Pettit used tranquilizer darts to capture the animals and took them to a shelter.
