Sometimes real life tops the Onion: Omaha police were called after a man who mistakenly ate marijuana brownies began saying mean things to the family cat.

The family of a 53-year-old man called 911 late Tuesday to report that he was exhibiting erratic behavior, including crawling on the floor, using profanity, and calling the cat “a bitch,” the Omaha World-Herald reported.

It turns out he had eaten four brownies that he found in the backseat of his car after his adult children used it earlier that day.



One of the man’s sons said he was “pretty sure it was just marijuana in the brownies,” according to the police report.

The man told officers he felt like he was “trippin’,” but declined to go to the hospital. Paramedics helped the man to bed and instructed his wife to call if his condition grew worse.
