Portland police had to be called in to wrestle with a 22-pound house cat that trapped its owners inside their bedroom after attacking their baby.
The baby was not injured in the Sunday incident.
Portland police say officers responded to a 911 call that evening from a couple who had locked themselves in their bedroom with the baby and their dog after the cat attacked the child.
Officers used a dog snare to capture the cat and placed it in a crate.
The 911 operator could hear the cat screeching in the background as the couple awaited help.
The owners told the dispatcher the cat has a history of violence, but the cat is still with its owners.
