Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2006Cat Beats Up Pit Bull?
Arrgh! This is the headline for the teaser on the news page. Unfortunately, it isn't text, it is a film cliip and this $#@@ dial-up is too slow, it won't play. I googled news, but nothing came up. Has anybody heard about this one? Lori, did you check to see if Bandit was in her bed last night? LOL. Sherry > Arrgh!

I have broadband and can play the film clip - can you post the URL?  SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > Has anybody heard about this one? I heard that story on the news the other night. It was about a lady who is trying to get a cat leash law passed. A cat got into her backyard and scratched her pit bull, so she thinks cats are too dangerous to roam free. For the protection of the public, she thinks cats should have the same restraints as dogs. I guess keeping cats tied up will prevent those unfortunate incidents we hear about so often of a kid being killed or having his face eaten off by a neighbors cat. >>Has anybody heard about this one? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > we hear about so often of a kid being killed or having his face eaten > off by a neighbors cat. Hehehe. Nikki once scratched a pitbull's nose. He was on a leash, though, and he didn't get mad at Nikki, he got scared and backed away from her. Hehehe. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Hehehe. Actually, a really ferocious cat CAN do a lot of damage to a much larger animal. Fortunately, most domestic cats are more likely to run - even from dogs much smaller than they are. However, if it were between one of the smaller WILD cats the same size as large domestic ones (cervals, etc.), I'd bet on the cat (they have more formidable weapons). >> Hehehe.

Back in the 70's, after I left home to join the Army, my family got Tarheels ( theres a couple fuzzy pix in my Yahoo pet folder http://tinyurl.com/8gca5 ). Tarheels had one litter before she was spayed, and became very protective of HER turf. She was known for terrorizing the neighborhood dogs, and would dash across the street to chase any sized dog she saw. I don't know if she ever actually fought with a dog - they all ran when they saw her coming, and she stopped running once she put them to flight.

A friend of mine had a laid-back marmelade cat who used to beat up on the neighbor's little miniature poodle, every once in a while (when its constant yapping got on his nerves too badly). > >>>Hehehe.

Thats exactly how I got Cherokee. The family that had him relinquished him for beating up their poodle.

I grew up on a farm and we had barn cats. We also had a couple of 80-lb German Shepherd mixes (ours and the neighbors'). Routinely, if either of those dogs ventured into the barn, it would be driven out by one of the female cats. We commiserated with the poor pooches on many a scratched and bloody nose, but they insisted on repeated tests to see if that rule would be enforced.

I was speaking of more SERIOUS damage - like disemboweling. A really determined cat can grab a dog around the neck, hold on and put its hind feet to work on the dog's soft underbelly. (I read about this in a work of fiction - the "hero" was a domestic/bob-cat mix who was forced into a confrontation with a fighting dog - but if you consider the logistics, it's certainly possible, given a cat with no option to flee.) > I guess keeping cats tied up will prevent those unfortunate incidents > we hear about so often of a kid being killed or having his face eaten > off by a neighbors cat. <snort> Well, keeping my cat tied up didn't keep *her* safe from pit bulls!! Joyce >> Has anybody heard about this one? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > we hear about so often of a kid being killed or having his face eaten > off by a neighbors cat. Now be fair. (And I'm laughing here, don't anyone take me too seriously) The day after Christmas, Jake our normally placid Siamese attacked Kayla our then two month old border collie pup. I saw the attack part which was very much one-sided are premeditated. There was much squealing and screeching mostly behind the recliner, and the dog came yelping out scattering blood drops from her ear. I got the bleeding stopped and cleaned up but she now has a half inch slit on the edge of her ear. She must have given near as good as she got because the cat leaves her alone now and Kayla has even walked across him a time or two and sat on him once. There is no telling what a cat will do if the mood strikes. Jo sriddles@aol.com wrote in news:1137161941.128155.135470 @g47g2000cwa.googlegroups.com: > Arrgh!

Cat bites pitbull, and he gets a scratch on his head. But how many times have we heard about a pitbull that bites a cat and kills it? Don't get me wrong, I think all animals should be restrained from doing any sort of harm, but jeez!

Devon Rex is a quite small breed, but they are strong and brave. One day last summer, my ex's neighbor came along with his dog, an English Setter, about 30 kg (hmmm, 60 pounds?). The dog walked around unleashed while my ex and the neighbor stood talking for a while. Loomis was out on the lawn, minding his own business, but also keeping an eye on the dog... This dog is a very nice dog, without any thoughts of making trouble for anybody, but after a while he found out he would like to say hello to the cat on the lawn. Let's just call it a mistake... According to Loomis' rules, there are only a few, hand-picked individuals (in fact, only his daughter) from the animal world who are allowed to use *his* lawn. This dog was not one of them! Loomis ran up to the dog with all signs of aggression, and the dog tried to keep the furious cat away with his paw, but Loomis went straight to the dog's faces with all his claws out. Poor dog just turned around and ran off the lawn and down the road with Loomis after him. Loomis chased the dog down to the next block before he was satisfied and went back home. The dog's owner called for the dog, but the dog refused to come back as long as Loomis was out there... The owner had to go down and fetch the dog... Cats can be dangerous to dogs, because they've got another way to fight that dogs can't defend themselves from that good. So now the Setter knows his place in the neighborhood, and Loomis accepts that it is there, as long as it keeps out from the lawn... Hans >> Arrgh!

I'm quite convinced that a determined cat could peel a human like a grape if so inclined. This is one reason Molly has not yet had a bath. I prefer to believe I could give her a bath if I needed to.
