People wake up, hear intruder, call 911 and hide in the closet!

Reminds me of this story from several years ago...

Portland, go figure.

Was there an actual man in the house? A 22 lb house cat is about as athletic as a 400 lb person.

My thought was just throw some water on it. But when the article states that someone kicked it in the butt, another child pulled its tail, I'm thinking the cat was rightfully pissed off.

True story: I’m sitting in the living room of our cousin’s house after a fine Christmas dinner. The discussions are floating around on different subjects until we land on “Texas bugs and how you deal with them”. My wife HATES bugs. One of the older boys says: “ You buy that really small snake shot . It’s OK to use indoors.”
I love Texas!!!

Wait...whaaat? You wife hates bugs? I thought I had the corner on that market!

(FWIW one of the greatest shots I ever made was on a wolf spider in my bedroom, age 10. Saw it come out from under dresser on hardwood floor. Hit it square with a pellet skipped across the floor from my bed about 8 feet away. left a groove on the floor, and four legs either side. Freeaking awesome I still remember it 46 years later...and the groove is still in the floor!) And yes, I slept with my Czech made break action pellet gun...

Centipedes, most of all. Jumps in the bathtub and skareeeeems like a little scaredy-cat. It’s fun to watch, actually!
I was about 9 or ten when I got too caught up in an episode of the Lone Ranger and shot the Indian on the TV with my slingshot. I got the belt for that one.
