ELDERLY CANADIAN LICKING WOUNDS AFTER CAT ATTACK

QUEBEC CITY (Reuters) - An elderly Canadian man was recovering on
Thursday following a savage attack by his pet cat, which drew four
carloads of police, two ambulances and an animal control officer.

Gerard Daigle, 80, lost a pint of blood and required stitches after his
cat Touti, a diminutive roughly meaning Tiny, launched a frenzied attack
after Daigle, who was giving his pet parrot a shower, inadvertently
sprayed the cat with water.

"I have never seen anything like this in all my career," said Guy
Theriault, an animal control officer at the Society for the Protection
of Animals in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec, half way between Montreal and
Quebec City.

"It was real carnage: there was blood all over the place - on the
ceiling, the floor and the walls. The cat was really traumatized by the
water," Theriault added.

He said the cat has since been euthanized and had had a troubled past.

Daigle, who lives in Trois-Rivieres, could not be reached for comment on
Thursday.

The animal control officer said Daigle was saved by his 81-year-old wife
who wrestled the cat away, only to have it turn on her.

"The cat wanted to eat her, too," one newspaper quoted Daigle as saying.

The couple managed to chase the cat into the bedroom and slam the door.
Police responded in force because they thought they were dealing with a
domestic emergency.

It is not known why Daigle was giving his parrot a shower.
