That's the word from police in Modesto, California.
According to a police sergeant, a woman who was driving with a cat in her lap crashed into a power pole and knocked it over.
Police say the driver was scratched by her cat.
The woman suffered minor injuries and was taken to a hospital.
The cat was taken to a vet for an injured eye.
Last week, a California legislative committee approved a bill making it illegal to drive with a pet in your lap.
