This reminds me of when we lived in Bangkok. There was a walking catfish
that lived in a pond in the front yard. When monsoon season hit, it would
literally walk around on the ground around the pond. We had a dog (mixed
G'Shep and something) named Kamoi (means 'thief' in Thai) that was forever
trying to catch that fish. But Kamoi hated the rain so he was constantly
frustrated in his efforts. The catfish (it was a BIG fish) used to reach up
and bite Kamoi on the nose just to tease him! It was hilarious!

I wish we'd had video capability back then. It was 1971 when we left. My
mom and Scott and I flew back a few months ahead of Dad & Paul so I really
have no idea what happened to Kamoi or the catfish. Dad said he thinks
Kamoi finally beat the catfish, though, and ate it. I'd hate to think so.
It was a clever critter and I enjoyed watching it tease the dog :)

Aww, poor kitty. But how does the fish survive in a pond that is
completely frozen over? (That's probably a stupid question, but I
really don't know.)
Also, I couldn't believe the morons who posted comments on that
site. The state of literacy in the English language is pitiful!

That doesn't sound like any kind of fish I've ever heard of. That
really is hilarious, and I wish I could have seen it. I'm sure that I
would have loved this creepy cheeky Darwinian monster-fish.

It was just your garden variety Thai catfish but not the kind we raise & eat
in the U.S. I'd guess it weighed about 6 lbs. It used to tease the heck
out of the dog, that's for sure. We also had a square cement pond, about
1-1/2 ft. deep, built in under the steps to the 2nd floor balcony. We had
some of those lovely Japanese long-tailed goldfish in it; some were orange,
others were black with flashes of gold when they turned just the right way.
Kamoi ate all of them (frowning). His favourite thing was to wade in the
pond and eat all the fish. Dammit. I hope the wild catfish continued to
elude him after we left and Dad gave the dog away.
