Crazed cat attacks owner before smashing window while resisting arrest

A crazed cat jumped through a glass window on Monday to avoid being caught by police after clawing and biting her owner in Manhattan. Aqua, a 2-year-old tuxedo tabby, prompted a call to police when he suddenly turned on Marta Hevia, 52, inside her Inwood apartment, biting her knee and clawing her arm.



“Nothing like this ever happened before. He kept jumping and jumping at me,” she said. “I was coming out of the bathroom when he attacked. I said, ‘No, Aqua! No!’ He was trying to kill me.” The NYPD’s elite Emergency Service Unit was called in to snare the peeved pussycat, but Aqua acted like a two-legged crook accustomed to running from the police — only a much quicker version.



He scrambled away as they closed in on his hiding spot under a bedroom nightstand — and leaped through a glass window pane. “I’ve never seen a cat do that,” said one officer who was trying to make the collar.



Aqua was fast and daring, but the police managed to cage him in the end. Hevia is struggling to figure out why he snapped. “He’s neutered, but he’s always after (my other cat) because she’s in heat,” she said. “Maybe it was my perfume. Maybe he didn’t like it. I don’t know.”
