TROIS RIVIERES, Quebec – A small house cat sent her 80-year-old owner to the hospital with deep scratches requiring stitches and a blood transfusion after the man accidentally sprayed her with water, police said yesterday.
Guy Theriault, an animal-control officer, said Gerard Daigle was taking a shower on Monday when the cat walked into the bathroom.
After the kitty – a stray Daigle adopted a year ago – got sprayed with a little water, she went berserk, throwing herself at Daigle and biting and scratching him.
