'An 88-year-old Hamden (CT) woman who opened her sliding door to let in her cat was attacked when the animal she was petting turned out to be a raccoon.'
The lady hadn't realized the raccoon had followed her cat inside and as she bent down to stroke it, the creature attacked and bit her several times.
"She's a tough old bird," said the victim's son, Malcolm McKernan. "She fought it off and was able to call on the phone. That's pretty remarkable."
When police arrived, the raccoon attacked the officers too, and had to be killed. The lady is home from hospital and doing okay now.
