A feral cat that's terrorizing students has forced an elementary school in Maryland to close.

The ferocious feline is on the loose at Richard Henry Lee Elementary School in Glen Burnie. Animal control officers have set traps for the animal, but have been unable to catch it, Washington, D.C., TV station WUSA reported.

The school was forced to close at 9:45 a.m. ET Friday.

An estimated 500 students were either bused back home or waiting to be picked up by parents or guardians.

According to the Capital Gazette, "the kitty hasn't scratched yet." But school officials weren't taking any chances.

Traps will be set up for the kitty through the holiday weekend.

Oh my god this is amazing. Glen Burnie is an area that MH and his friends (who grew up in the next town over) TOTALLY look down on btw. Which makes this funnier to me.

and now I really want to make sure I watch the PM local news and catch the update at 5 and 6!

Why can't they just keep an eye on it and keep students away from it. Closing the school is a bit much.

So the cat hasn't actually attacked anyone. It's just....around?

[FloFTW]

LOL. Poor cat!

So the realtor who brought the eventual buyer through our house commented "Cat hissed and growled. Think it needs some attention." We were like eff no, lady. That is our GUARD CAT. You are a stranger in his house. Fall back.

I'm guessing it was coming up to people are acting neurological and they were scared it has the rabies.

Still - there are no other entrances???

A teacher spotted the cat in her classroom at Richard Henry Lee Elementary School around 7:30 a.m. The cat than ran off.

I believe the cat is just searching for Hello Kitty backpacks to examine because it doesn't believe the news that she is not a cat.

Bahahahahaha go kitty.

I didn't click on the links - any pic of the predator?

[notsocreepylurker]

I just shard on my FB and put: See, the cat just thinks she's a little girl since Hello Kitty isn't a cat

I'm thinking somebody in administration really wanted a 4 day weekend. "Hey, did you guys see that feral cat? It looked crazy! We better close the school."

[blink]

I think the cat just wanted to be like the moose in Germany, but first he/she needed an education and itty bitty kitty bootstraps.

Team Cat. Fuck those kids and their stupid educations.

Dude, we had an opossum in Chem class one morning and even that didn't stop us. Pussies.

I just learned I know people with kids attending this school. I will be sure to update on the story as it develops.

Is the cat tunneling through the air vents?! Aren't elementary school students pretty much in their classroom except lunch and recess? It seems extreme to close over a cat that in theory can be avoided... If they got the kids out, it seems to be about the same risk as going about their day as normal

[stealthmom]

Wow. We had at least a dozen feral cats at our school last year and never missed a day. Clearly our admin doesn't care about student safety!

Taking over the world is gonna be easier than we originally thought.
