That wasn't a very hungry nor aggressive cat. We had a Calico mother cat. One night, there was this horrible screaming under the window. Upon investigation, it was the calico mother with a rat by the neck bringing it to her brood. The rat would protest, try to get away and there was an audible "crunch" as the cat bit harder on its neck. After a bit more protest, the rat sucked in its final breath. A Navy buddy had two German Shepherd dogs. Lived in the Bronx. A couple of sewer rats scared his mother, the washer etc was in the basement of an apartment complex/home. She sicked the dogs on it. They howled upon encountering the rats and ran upstairs. He said they also had 2 Siamese cats who were ornery suckers. Upon the dogs retreat, the mother threw the cats into the fray. The cats didn't retreat, made short order of the rats. He said the male weighed in at 18lbs, the female was 15lbs so pretty good sized Siamese. TODAY..........the wife has this damn cat fetish. WE have a 1/2 Siamese cat in the house. It is an ornery cat! Now......one more cat story. Years ago, we had an orange tomcat. Was huge, weighed in at 19lbs at 4 years of age. It got into fights with foxes, and won. (Yes, wife hauled it to the vet who stitched the cats ears etc back on). A contractor was putting in new windows for my grandma. We lived across the road in a trailer because wife is a nurse, Grandpa needed shots and care. Anyways, the contractor had a black lab who was known to attack cats. He made the mistake of bringing the dog. I asked him to take it home. He said he wouldn't bring him the next day. (Local, he KNEW my wife loves cats and has a few). WELL, Ole Walter (the huge orange cat) decided to stop hunting and come home. I was watching this as it happened. I had forgotten about the dog, well........the dog came out of nowhere barking its fool head off. Walter just kept walking, the dog was hell bent on attacking him. When the dog was about 1 1/2 feet from Walter, the cat turned, jumped and landed on Walters head. Its forclaws were dug in behind the dogs ears, while it back feet were busy raking the dogs head. The dog yelped, cried etc, as the cat continued its attack. Cat let go, hopped off, dog turned tail and ran to the house howling. Jim, the contractor, came out of the house mad as all get out. The dogs nose was shredded..and I mean SHREDDED. YOUR cat attacked my dog. AWwwwwwwww no Jim, your dog attacked Jane's cat........Jim decided to take the dog home. He TRIED to send us the Vet bill for stitching the dogs nose, face up. Uh huhhhhhhhhh. He NEVER brought that dog to our place again. I DID have to make him redo two windows that he screwed up, (I think he was being ornery)........... Old Walter disappeared one day. I spose he got old enough that a fox got the best of him. In his prime tho...........He was quit the cat!

In college I had a room mate that had a wild black female cat. I once saw her destroy a large German Shepard that was just walking down the alley minding his own business. When she had a litter she dragged home dead squirrels and taught the younguns to eat them.

Definitive sub-species "felis culus".

I don't have a personal cat story .....
A man really hated his wife's cat. One day, unbeknownst to his wife, he put the cat in his car and took it to the end of the block and let it go. When he got home he saw that the cat had beat him home.
Undeterred, he put the cat in the car and took it a few miles across the city and tossed it out the car again. Upon returning home, he was astonished to see that the cat had beat him home again.
Determined at this point, the man took the cat and drove him across the city, over the river, through the woods, and clear across three counties before putting the cat outside and driving off.
Several hours later the man's wife was at home when the phone rang. She picked up and it was her husband.
"Is the cat there?" He asked.
"Yes..." she replied.
"Well put him on the phone, I'm lost"

But wait. There's more .... This is what I meant to post ..... Chihuahua puppy given CPR by firefighters after getting stuck in reclinerA chihuahua puppy has been given CPR by firefighters after becoming stuck in the mechanism of a recliner chair.
The pup was hanging from inside the chair when firefighters arrived at a unit block in Brisbane.
Firefighter Keith Hansen said he feared the dog was dead.
"When we arrived it was suspended by its neck and we thought it was deceased," he said.
"It was very raw for the owner and his friend and they were very upset and distraught as the dog was basically one of their children."
The couple only had the pup Raven Rinna Venus Nesbitt-Schuman (Raven for short) for a few weeks.
Dog owner Tyson Schuman said Raven crawled under the recliner, unbeknown to his partner, who then got up off the chair, trapping Raven.
"She let out a squeal and I looked under the chair and she was laying there lifeless and I thought that she was gone," he said.
"Both myself and my partner were very distraught and especially him because he stepped off the chair — thank God he did not put the leg rest down because that would have squashed her."
When all attempts to get her out of the mechanism failed, the fire brigade came to the rescue.
"As we prized her out we thought we could see some signs of life with her tongue and eyes flickering," Mr Hansen said.
"We pumped her chest with our fingers and got her oxygen and we thought after a couple of minutes, 'this dog is starting to breathe'.
Firefighter Keith Hansen who helped rescue and revive a chihuahua trapped down a recliner chair.
It was the first time Keith Hansen had given a dog CPR.
"We decided to do a mercy dash in the fire truck and take her to the 24-hour emergency vet.
"She was in the back of the truck and as we just about got to the vet, we hit the gutter and all of a sudden the dog's head popped up and her eyes were open and signs looked very good at that stage."
Mr Schuman said he was still in disbelief.
"To be honest I still thought she would be gone and that I would have to put her down," he said.
It was the first time the station officer had given a dog one-fingered CPR.
"It was very unusual … but between us we've probably got a long list of pulling dogs out of various interesting locations, but dogs are fairly resilient," Mr Hansen said.
Mr Shuman visited the pup at the veterinary surgery this morning.
"She looks well — the vet thought she might lose a bit of her vision," Mr Shuman said.
"They have given her some fluids and some medications, so hopefully by this afternoon she will be all good to come home."

We're now sooooooo progressive that I bet he doesn't even have to show an ID. It would be inconvenient ...
