OT: Amazing wildlife story

[DrBee]

That picture is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh - I needed it

Glad it cheered you up, dr. fish. You're also in the lead for the sport bean prize.

Hee hee - I've been watching the poll all day. At least some things are going my way today. I showed Mr. Fish the bear pic - he just stared at it in amazement. That is some cat!

What are you a doc of, by the way?

I'm thinking you need to change your quote to:
protect bears from cats, support your right to arm bears.

My fierce little 9-pounder tabby "Dayhunter" has attacked both a(full-grown) husky and lab that came to visit. He sneaks up and then goes right for their faces, 9 lbs of spitting, furious outrage. BUT he gets chased across the yard by our red hens almost daily - I guess he knows they live here and he's not to hurt them.

I hope DH (yes, that's what we've called him for years) doesn't every meet up with a bear, though.

My Isaac, who bears (hah! inadvertent pun!) a striking resemblance to Jack the Cat, but slimmer, once backed up in the little front yard as a German Shepherd dog came down the street on leash. I watch Isaac like a hawk when he's out there, and I thought, "oh, good, he has the sense to be scared of the dog." No, not at all. He was backing up to get a good running start. He flew over the chain link fence at the dog, hissing and spitting. Hard to say who was more freaked out. Dog? Dog's owner? Lise? I ran out there and snatched him up, the dog backing up furiously, barking, the owner screaming, "CONTROL YOUR CAT!"

I love the bear up a tree.

My sister had a miniature Dachshund who once chased a bear out of her yard.

Sis: "Doby! Come back, you woudn't even make an hor d' vors!"

Doby: "Bark, bark! Chase, chase."

Sis said that the dog swaggered around the place for days afterward.
