Cat got your thumb?

A man in suburban Indianapolis put the “ow” in meow when he called police Thursday to report a cat bit him on his right thumb.

Craig Wyatt’s manliness score took a major hit when he called the boys in blue after a kitten in a woodpile chomped down on his digit while he tried to string a tie around its neck. It's unclear if he owned the cat.

By the time cops raced to the scene, the cat was tied to a tree. An officer who took down the report said the kitty was “very calm and nonaggressive unless it was provoked.” Gee, a cat with an attitude - who'da thunk it?

Authorities removed the cat, while Wyatt filed “a bite report.” Despite the legal precautions taken, we're pretty sure the feline won't face any charges.
