The cat's owner woke to find two men outside his back door. One had a handgun, and the other was using a crowbar to try and pry the door open.
BELDEN, Miss. - A Mississippi man said his pet cat helped prevent a robbery at his home, and he credits the calico with possibly saving his life.
Bandit, a 20-pound cat, lives with her retired owner Fred Everitt in the Tupelo suburb of Belden. When at least two people tried to break into their shared home last week, the cat did everything she could to alert Everitt of the danger, he toldThe attempted robbery occurred sometime between 2:30 and 3 a.m. on July 25, Everitt said. He was first awoken by Bandit’s meows in the kitchen.
Everitt said by the time he retrieved a handgun and returned to the kitchen, the would-be intruders had already fled. Everitt told the newspaper that he did not call the police.“It did not turn into a confrontational situation, thank goodness,” Everitt said. “But I think it’s only because of the cat.”Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.
