During a Monday afternoon livestream, Catturd, the man behind the conservative anonymous X account, fell victim to a swatting incident that disrupted his podcast.
Approximately one hour into Episode 418 of “In the Litter Box with Jewels and Catturd,” co-host Jewels Jones made a startling announcement. She revealed that Catturd had been swatted and would not be returning to the episode.

Jones shared the alarming text message she had received, which stated, “So we have a big problem that’s going on right now, Cat’s house has just been swatted, someone called and pretended to be him and said that he had stabbed someone and had a gun and was going to kill himself.”
“Cops are absolutely everywhere, they’re all over Catturd ranch, he is trying to diffuse the situation as we speak,” she added.
Being “swatted” refers to a dangerous and malicious prank or hoax in which someone makes a false emergency call to the police, typically claiming that a serious incident is occurring at the target’s location. This often involves falsely reporting a violent crime, hostage situation, or other life-threatening situation. The intent behind swatting is to prompt a SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team or a heavily armed police response to the victim’s address.

Following the incident, Catturd took to Twitter to inform his followers, saying, “So, I was just swatted during my podcast. The caller pretended to be me and told the cops – ‘I’ve stabbed someone, had a gun, and was going to kill myself.’ This is the result of being doxxed over and over by leftist outlets. You can imagine how dangerous this is.”

I'm okay,…
He reassured his audience, stating, “I’m okay, the pets are okay, and the local cops were fantastic. Thanks for your concern. I’ll continue to talk truth to power. I won’t stop. Love you all.”
Back in March, Catturd had emphasized his unwavering dedication to truth-telling, saying, “I’ll never stop telling the truth.” He noted the incessant doxxing he endured, along with countless fake images and daily death threats from left-wing individuals, all stemming from his fearless approach to challenging those in power.
