Awesomest. Cat. Ever.

DJP said...: Maybe if we understood what the lady was saying, we'd know.

Could be it was just sort of a "Whoa - go, Butch!" laughter. Or she was dippy. Or it was relief. Isn't that a car seat by the van in the last view? Maybe she ran inside for fear of the bear.; January 25, 2010 at 7:04:00 PM CST
NoLongerBlind said...: Pretty impressive; someone needs to come up with a term for that feline.

Attack-cat and guard-cat don't work very well; fearless-feline is too "cutesy".

Any ideas?; January 25, 2010 at 7:33:00 PM CST

Brad Williams said...: She said, "Who's cat is that?? It's awesome!!"

Okay, not really. I have no idea. But that would be funny.; January 25, 2010 at 9:35:00 PM CST
hobo soup said...: Wow amazing, the bear looked scared.I think its great that the japanese have found a use for bears, garbage collectors, obviously the cat was not ready to relinquish the rubbish. Cats once again prove there worth, brave funny and quirky.; January 26, 2010 at 6:45:00 AM CST
DJP said...: Right, Hobo. I would think it would be hard for anyone to watch that tiny cat launch out there after that bear, like a furry RPG, without smiling and thinking, "Go, Kitty." I mean, what's that bear - 10, 20 times the cat's size?

For the record, that's part of what converted me from being a cat-hater to a cat-lover. Bundle of feral kitties we found in our garage, ~20 years ago, so spirited and spunky. Cracked me up, won me over. Over time.; January 26, 2010 at 7:06:00 AM CST

One night I was sitting out when I saw one of these dogs running away followed by a smaller, ginger and white flash.

Minette was that cat's name. Which was the worst possible name for this super male cat that guarded the property with such ferocity.

Wasn't there a picture doing the rounds of a bear in a tree with a cat underneath?; January 26, 2010 at 10:13:00 AM CST

Rhology said...: I speak French.
The lady at first was surprised that a bear would approach.

Then the cat goes after the bear and she just said "Go for it Mamenne!" like 4-5 times. And then just laughing about what happened.

Man, québécois French is so weird!; January 26, 2010 at 1:18:00 PM CST
DJP said...: Good story, OK picture - I think the video's more impressive.

Too Jack's owners didn't have an iPhone.; January 26, 2010 at 1:19:00 PM CST
DJP said...: Rhology, I can virtually always recognize French and German... but a lot of what she said actually sounded German to me. Is that the Québécois factor?; January 26, 2010 at 1:20:00 PM CST
Rhology said...: Well, it might be. It just sure sounded like Quebecker to me at the beginning and the "vas-y Mamenne!" thing.
But some accents are so thick that it can be hard to distinguish, so you could well be right.; January 26, 2010 at 1:23:00 PM CST
Susan said...: That didn't even remotely sound like French to me. I thought it was some other European language....; January 26, 2010 at 8:35:00 PM CST
