Police: Report of feline sexual assault unfounded

NORWALK — A Ludlow Commons resident reported that she believed her cat had been sexually assaulted Friday, but she later found out that the feline was suffering from a digestive ailment, police said.

The woman called 911 at 11:06 a.m. to report that she thought someone raped her 2-year-old cat, police said. The complainant told police that she went out shopping and when she returned to her apartment, she noticed that her cat's rectal area appeared to be inflamed, according to police.

The complainant rattled off a list of suspects, all of whom were human, in the alleged sexual assault.

The report was unfounded, police said. The cat was later examined by a veterinarian, and it was determined that the cat was suffering from diarrhea, police said.
