You can't go in your home? Must be serious!-"I have a problem in my home. I cannot go inside of my home."
-"What's the problem?"
There are multitudes contained in that uh. A good 9-1-1 operator can singlehandedly save your life; these men and women occasionally have to listen helplessly as someone is murdered. It's a serious, life-or-death sort of job—until you realize that you are going to have to talk some guy through dealing with a small, pissed-off animal with jaws too weak to seriously harm any adult in the world.-"The problem is my cat was getting too aggressive, and I was inside and she attacked me. She scratched my leg, and bites me. And so me and my wife came outside, and we cannot go in our home, for like three or four hours."
-"This is, uh—you said, a cat?"
Good question! Was it… rabid? Radioactive? Undead?-"So you want the police to come and remove the cat? What is the problem? Like…"
-"Yeah. They have to go inside the home [to] remove the cat."
-"OK. [long pause] um… I don't know. Was something wrong with the cat? Like it was [trails off]"
Oh. It gave birth. This actually makes sense—in 2010, a woman in Idaho was horribly attacked by her cat after it gave birth.

She had a baby last night, and then she was good until 10:00, 11:00 today. Then I came from outside, and then I changed my clothes and got in bed and she started to attack me."
The Stamford cops took pity on Lokman, and arrived on the scene in order to help him muster the courage to go inside and go to bed.No one deserves to be attacked by their cat—but also, getting your cat spayed or neutered is a great way to potentially reduce his or her aggression.

And then five minutes ago I tried to open the door again, and she was waiting at the door, and it was too much screaming and noise, and coming like in an attacking mood."
