Tabby Cat Chases Bear Up Tree, Twice
Associated Press ^ | June 10, 2006

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.

I love it. You gotta admire this cat's gumption. THanks for the break from the depressing political news.

A thread without a comment on immigration is not complete

So when do we post Jack at the US-Mexico border?

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said.

reminds me of one of my cats, he really doesn't like anyone coming into our apartment, he attacks them on occasion, and he has all claws. a friend was keeping an eye on him while i was on vacation, he attacked her, cut her leg up, and she ended up hiding in the bathroom, calling me on her cell phone for advice (advice: just get out of my apartment now)

as i type this up, he is on my lap, we get along fine for the most part, he's not happy when i come home late though.

--->definition of cats' staff, but i adore both of them, as quirky as they are

Rock a bye bears, in the tree tops
and when the bough breaks, the bears will fall.
Yes down come the bears...it is time to run.

I just happened upon this thread.

LF, Buford will want to borrow one of your cats IF he ever goes camping in bear country. :)
