FLavius Valerius Constantinus Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 link to article A black bear picked the wrong yard for a jaunt, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree — twice. Jack, a 15-pound orange and white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, often chasing small animals, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising. "We used to joke, 'Jack's on duty,' never knowing he'd go after a bear," owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's editions. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti first spotted Jack's accomplishment after her husband saw a bear climb a tree on the edge of their northern New Jersey property on Sunday. Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing cat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlapse Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Cats are great. It always blows my mind to look at my own cat and think that I have a miniature feline - one of nature's ultimate predators - living inside my house and hilariously acting on its instincts to stalk and kill just about anything inside the house.

docoflove1974 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 We have an open field behind our house (technically it's part of the San Francisco Watershed, so it's protected land), and there are a ton of deer back there. Our older cat, Peanut, has chased off the deer a few times now...suddenly a 12 pound cat turns into a 250 pound tigress. It's funny to see. Now our younger cat, Bella, is trying to follow into Peanut's footsteps...but she's only chased off birds yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
