Man airlifted after fight with cat


Game Warden Danny Diaz expected to find an animal a little more fierce than the tabby cat he encountered when he was called to a home on CR 3182 in Cleveland on Friday. The cat, like the one pictured, was mortally wounded by a man who attacked the cat with a knife after the cat reportedly attacked the man. During the struggle with the cat, the man sustained cuts and injuries so serious that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. The cat was later euthanized by a Cleveland veterinarian. 

 Cleveland Ohio--A Cleveland man was attacked by a housecat Friday afternoon and the man's injuries are so severe that he had to be taken by air ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston.
The altercation between the man and the animal occurred at a home on CR 3182 a few miles south of Cleveland in Liberty County.
At some point during the attack, the man and the cat reportedly were injured by a knife the man was holding. The man was taken to Cleveland Regional Medical Center before being transported to Houston.
Game wardens Danny Diaz and Adam Broll captured the cat. It was taken to Big Thicket Animal Hospital for examination.
The man's identity is unknown at this time.
