Women, Boy Injured In Home By Cat Attack
Pair Of Strays Put Down After Assault
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — Two stray cats have been put to sleep in Nebraska after they went into a house and attacked three people.
One animal control officer said he'd never seen anything like it.
The cats went through an open front door and attacked two women and a boy. The animals scratched the child's face and ears, drawing blood. The women were attacked on their legs.
Both cats were shot, tranquilized and taken to an animal shelter, where they were euthanized. The bodies were sent to Lincoln for rabies tests.
Authorities are checking to see if anyone owned the cats. Under laws of the area, cats can run free if they don't become nuisances.
