Cat- 3 Dogs 0
I live in the central gulf area of FL, lots of wildlife abound. Recently
in the news there was a story about 3 dogs attacking a cat on the edge of a wooded area. The cat killed 2 of the dogs one being a Rotweiller, the third dog escaped. Turns out they picked a fight with a Bobcat, all claws and teeth and mean as a mother in law. |

Is there a Darwin award for dogs? |

they wander all over the place near me beautiful animals when they do
their call it sounds like a baby crying. I know one is out back all the furballs will line up in the back bay windows and fuzz up but won't make a sound just stare. I have had one walk right up to the back Florida room and go to sleep on the outside patio bench. The furballs were fit to be tied. Such a beautiful cat Those poor dogs ( not) they thought they were going to get a little pussy cat but that pussy cat had teeth. wrote in message oups.com...

Where do you live NMR? I live in Hernando County. My lanai backs up to a
wildlife preserve with a small lagoon (swamp) in my backyard. I have spotted the occasional bobcat along with racoons, gators, turtles and many beautiful birds and some not so beautiful (turkey buzzards.) The most fearsome sight was my inlaws pulling into our driveway for a visit. When my 2 siamese are relaxing on the lanai I keep an eye on them lest some critter tries to break through the screening. |

Years ago, a bobcat meandered casually in front of us as we drove down the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. It was a wonderful sight -- and those dogs weren't very bright to pick on a cat that size.

Can I ask you where you got the story from? Adam |

Bob my real name is Matthew I keep forgetting to add that at the end of my
post. I live in unincorporated Volusia county ( Daytona Beach ) before the St. John's river bridge near Seminole county. I back up to a wildlife sanctuary no one can ever build there. I see armadillos, foxes, bob cats, black bears ( they are a pain the a@@ ) Florida panthers. There is a pair of golden hawks that live back there ( learned the hard way when I rescued my little one spirit from them ) There is lake on the other side of the property we see turtles, we got rid of the gators they were being feed by people and got to friendly with the neighborhood pets. I stocked the lake so there is some good fishing there. We see an occasional wild pig and plenty of deer, a big family of geese make there home in the lake during the winter. Too many birds to name are here in the winter I moved here just for this reason to see nature. Reminds me of home in Kentucky when I was growing up just no snow, chickens or horses. Everytime a new creature shows the furball patrol lines up in the bay window in the back of the house staring, chirping and making a hussy fit for what ever is in the back yard I have had the bears break down a window and part of the outer wall in the Florida room wake up to that at 4 in the morning. I have woke up, walked in to the kitchen to a Florida panther standing up at the bay windows on its hind legs staring right back at the furball patrol every one puffed up to 3 times there size, standing their ground they all were making a noise that I have never heard before.

Matthew Here in NYC my furball patrol has to make do with sparrows, the occasional robin, and a rare possum or raccoon. When outside in the backyard (fenced in), one likes to lie under an evergreen just five feet from the bird feeder and watch the commotion. He doesn't normally attack the birds; he just likes to watch from up close. I can't believe that the birds don't realize that he is there. Normally I don't put out birdseed if I'm planning on letting the boys out. Nor do I put out seed unless the ground is covered with snow. |

Suddenly, without warning, NMR exclaimed (28-Dec-05 12:54 AM):
I have had the bears break down a window and part of the outer wall in the Florida room wake up to that at 4 in the morning. I have woke up, walked in to the kitchen to a Florida panther standing up at the bay windows on its hind legs staring right back at the furball patrol every one puffed up to 3 times there size, standing their ground they all were making a noise that I have never heard before. Matthew Wow. Do you have a picture of that? My mental picture's pretty awesome as it is - how many furballs do you have? Only wildlife we get in this English backyard is birds and the occassional hedgehog. And all the neighbor cats, if I don't let Meep out occassionally to re-mark her territory. Meep's gonna be a bit shocked by our retirement property though. Pronghorns and jackrabbits, neighbors have bison, and I'm told black and grizzly bears have been seen crossing our (currently empty) property, heading for the river. Smart bears. There's a fish hatchery there. jmc |
