A cat roaming the streets of a Florida neighborhood is "terrorizing" residents, and the police have yet to catch it.

The feline terrifying residents of Luraville in Suwannee County, Florida turned out to be an angry domestic cat, local officials said.

The vicious feline has sent two people from the area to the emergency to treat their injuries after two separate attacks.

While local law enforcement has laid traps to catch the elusive creature, they have not nabbed it yet in the past week, according to local news.

It is currently unclear whether the cat is feral or is an escaped pet who may have developed rabies.

"During two separate incidents, residents exercising and walking on 174th Street were attacked by a feral cat. Both residents received injuries serious enough that they had to seek medical treatment at local hospitals," according to a post on Sheriff Sam St John's Facebook page, per the Guardian.

A deputy of the Sheriff's office told the Guardian the office was "hopeful" they would catch the animal soon to shed more light on the situation, but residents should exercise "extreme caution" when outdoors until then.

Authorities did not provide a description of the cat, according to local news reports.
