sounds like Alpo. it's fun to watch him when he's on the prowl. wild creatures give him a wide berth - they part like the red sea.
We watched him sun himself on the street, which is a pretty busy road. He seemed to know which cars would stop, and he milked the drama for all it was worth. Other cars he would move for, but he just seemed to have radar or something.
One of the funniest things I ever saw:
The Pet Cemetary cat used to live on my old street (when I was still a teenager), very deranged, ugly and large (The cat, not me, well not the large part anyway).
One morning I went out to the front porch and I saw this cat doing a samurai stare down with a fairly sizeable dog. The dog began to shake all over and whimper before turning to run... and the cat proceeded to chase him, practically roaring!
I had the unfortunate experience of running into him on my back porch once. He pounced at me and I ran inside closing the door behind scared witless. My friend looked at me like I was nuts, "You've got to be kidding me. Are you a wuss? It's a cat!"
Against my warnings, he stepped out onto the porch with a broom. This cat did an aerial assault toward the poor fool's head. This was followed by him screaming like a girl, running to get back inside and me laughing my butt off.
