I would give a medal to the cat. Happy to read the filthy mutt will be put down too. Another win for civilization.

That cat from Bakersfield is (to quote Julie Newmar & Eartha Kitt) Purr-fect!

Yes, I bow down to this cat for sure. She is definitely a hero.

Wow cats are such amazing animals way to go.

I saw this report in the news from Thurstday. (Yes, even Germany is interristed in such things :D)

My mom said after watching: "Your cat will probably do the same."
He fell asleep on my belly. I looked at him and thought: "No way......or?"

thought: "No way......or?"

I have two cats who are twins and these cats will actually growl, not hiss :lol:
so maybe????

That cat has balls and that makes it awesome. And for a supposed guard dog to be that afraid of a cat to high-tail outta there is quite frankly a poor guard dog.

Though it makes me wonder why or what made the dog feel the need to attack the boy. As far as I know, the kid was on his little bike with his back turned. He did nothing to provoke the dog. The dog just walks right up to him out of nowhere. I know, it was a guard dog, but that still doesn't explain or excuse it's behavior and may the neighbors of the dog learn a lesson from this incident.

A thread in the current events forum that's not about dead people?


Blasphemy!

Finally, a thread that isn't all deaths in the Current Events section.

That Cat is awesome for doing that.

I do feel sorry for the dog having to be put down - obviously its owners haven't trained or socialised it properly, and definitely did not keep it confined to the yard. It's a shame that animals have to suffer due to their irresponsible owners.

That being said (and I'm probably going to kick off a hornet's nest of dissenting opinions here here) - as a cat owner, I also don't think that Hero Cat's owner allowing Hero Cat outside was particularly responsible pet ownership either; the cat could just as easily have been killed or badly injured by the dog.

EDIT: If anybody here is a cat owner who lets their cat go outdoors, please don't take my comments as a personal attack; it's not intended to offend or disrespect anybody! We can just agree to disagree - it's not my intention to start a fight over that topic.
