Also follow this link chain. Lissa did battle with a snake. Mr. Serpent made some bad choices and got his just desserts. Borepatch left a link to This Blog that contains this video:
I’m curious what’s going on here. Obviously kitty is doing a kitty thing, and I’m willing to chalk the sheer stupidity of this scenario down to domestication. But what are the gators up to? I suspect given that they live in a populated area pest critters like rats possums, and squirrels make up a part of their diet as do pets like dogs and cats. Were the gators just full-up and curious, and not interested in being touched?
Odd video. I’d make a self defense analogy about refusing to be a victim, but let’s face it, if this was a defensive situation, all the fangs and claws Mr. kitty has wouldn’t be enugh to scratch Mr. Gator’s rough hide….
Get that kitty a Bodyguard, STAT!! 🙂
Maybe it’s actually a cyborg cat with infrared lasers in it’s eyes and a 40,000 Volt shock claw. Or maybe I’ve been watching too many movies again…
There is always the infamous cat vs. bear.
Dang… that cat IS impressive…
Doesn’t it look like the gator went for backup? “C’mere, Clyde, this damned furball’s too tough for me!”
