The bomb squad was called to an Ohio home on Monday, September 23, after a family's cat found a hand grenade in their basement during renovations.
According to a local CBS News affiliate, Major Jason Hall of the Dayton Police said the unnamed family was working on fixing their house when they noticed their cat playing with a "suspicious item."
The homeowners immediately called the police, which promptly led to a bomb squad investigation.
When officers arrived at the scene, they determined the mystery item the cat knocked over was in fact a hand grenade.
Bomb squad members said they intend to set off the grenade in a safe and "controlled environment."
No one appears to have been harmed.
