You can see an actual picture of this behind the link.

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/06/060613-cat-bear.html


June 13, 2006—Perhaps not since the Cowardly Lion has an animal's appearance been so at odds with its attitude.

On June 4 a black bear wandered into a West Milford, New Jersey, back yard, was confronted by a 15-pound (7-kilogram) tabby cat … and fled up a neighbor's tree. Hissing at the base of the tree, Jack the clawless cat kept the bear at bay for about 15 minutes, then ran him up another tree after an attempted escape.

Finally, Jack's owner, Donna Dickey, called the cat inside, and the timorous trespasser disappeared back into the woods.

"He doesn't want anybody in his yard," Dickey said of Jack in an interview with the Newark Star Ledger.

Unlike cats, bears aren't typically territorial, roaming instead over vast areas that would be impossible to patrol for intruders. With a habitat that includes much of North America, black bears are seen fairly often in this region of New Jersey.

Full-grown black bears weigh between 200 and 600 pounds (90 and 270 kilograms) and measure as much as 6 feet (1.8 meters) long. Their diets can include fruits, honey, insects, acorns and animals as big as moose calves—a fact apparently lost on Jack.

I was reading a blurb on Greebo, a cat in the Discworld books, and the webmaster provided a link to this article saying, "A real life example of Greebo." (Greebo is one of those cats that'll fight and rape anything and never stand down. Dogs, foxes, and wolves go out of their ways to avoid him.)

This cat is like my cat Milo.

When we first got him, we had him declawed, and our fiesty Jack Russel Terrier thought he was ample prey.

Milo learned how to box. And since that horrific series of blows, Eddy (the Jack Russel) fears the hell out of my favorite lazy tabby cat.

That cat is either vicious or the bear's just a pussy...Whichever one is true. And the owner of the cat shold be glad it was just a black bear, were it a grizzly, that cat'd totally been a snack.

That bear must be a wuss!

I love how the cat is just perched right at the base of the tree, waiting xD

Proof that cat's are awesome. But damn, that is one huge cat if it weighs 15 pounds. If only there had been a person with a video camera when that went down, I want to know how he did it.

i dunno i have met many humans ( a 120-300 pound animal that stands at an aproximate height of 6 feet, and when angered is capable of blowing up the entire world with nuclear weapons and subsists on a diet of pretty much anything) that run screaming in paroxyms of mind-bending horror at the sight of a garden spider (a 0 pound tiny bug that is cabable of eating smaller bugs and when angered will run the fuck away)
