WARREN, Mich. - The fluff was flying when police in suburban Detroit zapped a large stuffed cat with a stun gun while responding to an emergency call about a cougar on the loose.
A 911 caller reported seeing what looked like a cougar inside a piece of discarded drain pipe in Warren.
Police zapped the cat with an electronic weapon on Monday, but they wound up with a bunch of fluff.
The Detroit Free Press reports the stuffed animal was apparently placed in the pipe as a hoax.
The Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens reports the caller said it was "a 150-pound cat."
About 10 officers responded to the cat call.
Warren police Commissioner William Dwyer says the department is "out there to keep the community safe."
