Pussy v. Bear

Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white pussy cat, sits under a treed black bear in a backyard in West Milford, N.J., Sunday, June 4, 2006.


When the bear climbed down, the cat chased it up another nearby tree. Neighbor Suzanne Giovanetti thought Jack was simply looking up at the bear, but soon realized the much larger animal was afraid of the hissing pussy.

The cat's owners called it away and the bear ran off.

I’d heard about this on another blog and now I’ve seen the picture. Funny. I can see Jack strutting his big bad self amongst the other pusses. Imagine the street cred he has now.

A folk saying in Italy "a single hair of a pussie's fur is stronger than 1000 ox" and it seems the bear knew this.

I saw this on The Star Ledger's website this morning. What a great picture.
