In case you were wondering what happened to Lux, the 22-pound Himalayan cat that became so "hostile," according to its Portland-based owners, that they felt the need to barricade themselves in a bedroom and call 911 back in March, the Associated Press has your answer.

Feline behaviorist Jackson Galaxy featured the crazy cat in a Saturday episode of his Animal Planet series, My Cat From Hell.
