By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 07:04 EST, 12 March 2014 | UPDATED: 07:04 EST, 12 March 2014 The Oregon owners of a 22-pound housecat that trapped them in their bedroom after attacking their baby say they're not giving up on their pet and are getting him medical attention and therapy. Two days after police arrived to subdue the four-year-old part-Himalayan cat, owner Lee Palmer of Portland said he's taking the feline to a veterinarian. A pet psychologist also is due at the house to see the cat, named Lux. ‘We're not getting rid of him right now,’ Palmer said. ‘He's been part of our family for a long time.’
