According to the Ottawa Citizen, the Glebe area of the Canadian capital has been terrorized by a relentless pet feline aggressor who swipes at peoples' faces and bullies 100-pound dogs. Despite its collar and name tag, the assailant's identity remains unknown, as the cat is allegedly too violent to approach.


One concerned citizen decided to take matters into her own hands, trying to reach the cat's legal guardian by posting flyers around the neighborhood. "Do you own a stocky grey cat with a blue tag and a shit attitude?" it reads. "Maybe your cat was born an asshole or maybe it's a sign of a condition like toxoplasmosis, hyperthyroidism epilepsy, abscesses, arthritis, dental disease, rabies, trauma, sensory decline or cognitive dysfunction. So please take your animal to the vet and keep it inside."


Forrest Hartman, the flyer's author, told the Canadian daily that "Angry Cat" hasn't turned up since the flyers' presence, perhaps a sign that the pen is mightier than the claw.
