There is a warning in this article for all you cat lovers (*disclosure - this writer does not like cats).

Two women from San Diego County in California sought help from their local police department after being trapped in a bedroom by a family cat.  This cat has since been described by one of their neighbours as "a ball of fury."

Chula Vista police service told local television that a woman and her adult daughter called 911 Tuesday to say they were stuck in the bedroom because their cat "Cuppy" was in a rage and wouldn't let them leave.

Police say such matters are usually left to animal control, but officers decided to help out on a quiet night. They say eventually the cat walked out on its own.

Maybe next time they should get a goldfish for a pet!
