It happened at the Millport Apartments around 2:30 p.m. on May 25 (a Sunday), according to New Canaan Police Animal Control Officer Maryann Kleinschmitt.
The visiting cat entered the victim’s apartment directly behind her as the woman returned home and got into a fight with her own cat, Kleinschmitt said. The woman was bit and scratched trying to shoo away the visitor—a cat that belongs to another resident at the housing complex.
The report came in a few days after the incident, on May 29, police said.
The cat that did the damage is under quarantine at home, Kleinschmitt said.
