World's bravest cat defends owner from pit pack attack

The 97-year-old Harrison, Michigan resident was working in her garden
recently when her neighbors four pit bulls surrounded her.

Owners should get fined $10,000 and/or 10 years, IMHO.

Lucky for the very elderly woman her cat was there!

Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There
will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more.

Brave, and *smart*. She distracted the 4 big doofuses so her human could
get out of harm's way.

What a frightening thing for this woman to have gone through - it would
be scary for anyone, but especially for someone who probably isn't very
strong or able-bodied anymore. What a great kitty!

What a very brave and resourceful cat. I'm sure Tiger got something very
nice to eat.

I hope he got not only a treat, but lots of love and praise for his
courage. =o) I was afraid this story would have a very sad ending, so
I'm very happy Tiger escaped unhurt.

People who own aggressive dogs really, REALLY need to keep them under
control. It just makes me mad when I hear about people, especially
children getting seriously injured by attacks from vicious dogs whom
their owners allowed to wander loose.

I was thinking of that, yes.

Joyce - but at least in our case, it wasn't *four* dogs - yikes!

There's a video of the cat and her slave on YouTube.

Totally with you on this. Only the other day a 10-year old girl was
attacked in Dundee by 2 rottweilers and badly injured- the owner of
the dogs has been charged under the Dangerous Dogs Act for failing to
keep them under control.

Round where I live there are a lot of young men and women with walk
around with Staffordshire bull terriers and boast about how "tough"
their dogs are. (Staffies get a lot of bad press because of it but
the few I've known (My brother had one and my step niece has one) have
been fine) most of these "tough" dogs are being walked with completely
inadequate leashes, like bits of string or even extendable leashes and
fights are pretty commonplace between the dogs. About a month ago one
of them slipped his leash and bolted across the main road to attack
another one and the "owners" seemed to be in no hurry to come after
the dog, they were all laughing

That's very sad to see how little they value their dogs and the unique
partnership that can develop between canine and human when the right
elements are there.
