Our cat had a couple of bear cubs up a tree right by our house. I didn’t see how it happened. The mother sat at the base of the tree and there was a staring match between the cat and the bear that went on quite a while. We couldn’t get the cat to come in so the cubs would come down and the family could leave. I think the cat was having too much fun.
Lol! With the many wacky things we see animals doing, especially now in the internet age, where so many have recorded and shared stuff, it’s no wonder that they were the primary subject of the classic Loony Tunes/Warner Bros cartoons! (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, etc, etc)
Of course they didn’t have internet back then, yet still, the creators were clearly well acquainted with the often funny interactions between animals.
