I ain't no scaredy cat: Fearless feline fights off TWO giant alligators
The Daily Mail (U.K.) / YouTube ^ | November 16, 2010 | Chris Slack

They are normally used to catching the odd mouse and avoiding the neighbours' dog.

But this cat doesn't seem to be at all bothered by his latest foes -  two huge alligators.

Reportedly filmed on a farm in Louisiana, this black cat stalked and stared out his enemies before successfully forcing them to both return to the lake.

Ready for battle: The cat gets set to attack the alligator at the Louisiana farm

Take that! Realising his chance, the cat lashes out at the alligator with his left paw

On the retreat: Facing up against the brave cat is too much for the alligator and he returns to the lake

I think it is a Maine Coon Cat. I have one and I can tell you that those gators are lucky they weren’t gutted after some play time.

I have a courtroom trial on Thursday and am sporting a nice slash across my forehead that looks like I was in a knife fight because my very active Siamese mistook me for his scratching post last night. I’m sure my client will be impressed when I stroll in.

Every watch hummingbirds. They are the most ferocious - chase off my cat with no hesitation. But they are afraid of hornets who also like the feeder.

I quit filling my hummer feeder after I moved it up close and saw all the carnage really happening there. Hornets were tackling honeybees and stinging them all the way to
the ground.

The hummingbird v hornet wars were fun, though. My hummers jumped back then BAPPed the hornets for a split second of feeding.

We have two polydactyls, and one of them is nicknamed “Shotgun” because he doesn’t even have to aim to catch something—front paws are soooooo big.

Geese terrify me. Do they even have teeth? They ran me out of a public park once.

I was going to post the video after my friend sent it to me in an email.
It's his famly's swamp tour business and one of their customers posted the video and went viral.

There's a couple cats that harass the gators constantly. Really amusing.

Viking kitties be proud!
