Who says cats don't love their humans?

It's made the news over here. I saw it this morning on the BBC news and
when I told them at work about it, one of the girls got it up on youtube
on her phone and we all watched it. It's been on news again tonight so
I've recorded it as it shows the cat attacking the dog in slow motion.

I think the cat is called Tara and she took all the attention in such a
laid back way.

It was a wonderful story about the bond between a cat and her person.

It's too bad about the dog though. I don't know if it was poorly trained or
had poor temperament, but it's not its fault that it wasn't properly
controlled.

Allegedly, someone left the gate to the (fenced) yard open so the dog
escaped. The video makes it clear the little boy wasn't doing anything
to irritate the dog. So, yes, poorly trained or just didn't like
strangers. Still, it was a completely unprovoked attack. I feel bad
for the dog but it could have killed that child.
