A Greenfield, Wisconsin couple apparently thought only the police could rescue them from a hostage situation.

Except the hostage taker wasn’t an armed robber, but rather the family feline.

“This is gonna sound like a strange question but we have a cat and it’s going crazy and it attacked my husband and we’re kind of hostage in our house and we’re just wondering who we should call to do something, get rid of the cat or help us,” the woman told the 911 operator, CBS 58 reports.

The cat was turned over to the Milwaukee Area Domestic Animal Control Commission and no one was “seriously” hurt.
