Cat 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 |

Cat Beats Up Pit Bull?
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. |

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. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban.

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). |

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. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Spot with loving memories of Rocky (RB) [remove Junk for email] Home Page: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html Cat Pix: http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/animals.html |

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). |

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. -- Wayne M. |

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.) |
