Lee Palmer said he kicked the cat “in the rear” to protect his child. Apparently the feline attacked their toddler and Palmer reacted with his foot first. Palmer said the animal then “just went off over the edge” — leading Palmer and his girlfriend to barricade themselves, their baby and the family dog in the bedroom for safety.
Two days after the cops subdued "catzilla" the family says they'll get therapy for the erratic pet and try to achieve an uneasy alliance and give the cat-shrink a shot.
The story has gone viral and that brought offers from cat lovers worldwide to take the beast off their hands. But Palmer says all he needs is a good emergency backup plan and a pair of really tiny cat handcuffs.
The central question remains who really needs the therapy most; the cat or the family?
