Cat saves boy from dog

As I said on the cat photo' thread,deserves a thread of its own. Thanks Sir Ken.

Could well have save the kid's life. Goodness knows why they carried on filming after the dog attacked. Should have been out there.

Hope the dog can be re-habilitated.

saved*

Erm it was CCTV.

You passed that test very well mate to say it's early.

Extraordinary scenes - the cat deserves a congressional medal of honour.
As one of the comments says, he really owned that canine's bottom.

What a great cat!

"if the cat follows us all the way home we'll keep it"

Dog thinking, "What the F*ck ! Come on ! I'm starvin' ! "

deserves the cat VC

Interesting, I thought cats were supposed to be utterly selfish and incapable of showing the kind of loyalty a dog might.

Cats do show signs of altruism at times

Cat would have been defending his territory

and possibly defending his feeder....

ps

I had a cat once who would chase dogs off his territory

Are you for real?  I hope the dog was shot within minutes.

Some are. some aren't. There's no stereotype with cats. They're all different.

And you'll certainly get that sort of reaction from any cat who's got young kittens. They'll attack any cat or dog who gets too close.

I've got one cat who always follows me to the end of the road whenever I go shopping. I tell her to wait there and she flops down on the ground. It doesn't matter how many minutes or hours I'm gone for, she's always still there waiting for me when I return. And the reception I get is always every bit as enthusiastic as you'd get from a dog when you've been out for a while.

Great Cat

Nice won man of many moods

Man of many moods

We also have a cat that follows us for about 4 furlongs up until we reach the main road, sometimes he crosses with us sometimes he nips into a hiding place and no matter how long we are gone we her his meeow as we approach the same spot on the way back.

He follows us to the pub, my wife and kid to the nursery and he has hissed and hunched up at dogs as they approach us, but only when we have the kids with us.

Yet when in the house he doesn`t want to know us the ****!

There should be NO thought of rehabilitation for THAT dog. It is absolutely the worst example of what a dog should be. It made an unprovoked attack on a child.

No dog should EVER bite a puppy or a child! This should be instinctive. Puppies and children smell different to adults. This is their natural protection. This attack was unprovoked...in fact the dog sought out the victim. At first I thought that the dog attacked the pedal. Not so, it went straight for the leg and it didn't release.
That animal has no place on this Earth. Destroy it.

I would agree

often it is bad owners, but should be put down

it has broken a taboo

Not really down to bad owners in this case. I don't think anybody could teach a dog to do that. Maybe it has a brain tunour or similar.

it's transgressed the unwritten law, and if it was written it wouldn't be able to read it anyway tbf.

A lot of dog owners in our society keep unsuitable dogs(pit bull type dogs), for the wrong reasons(to look macho or to fight))

in probably unsuitable environments

There have been a number of attacks on children.

Unfortunately for dogs(they have been a good friend to us) urban life is not always ideal for them.

You are probably right Naydam...anyway has to be put down.

If a neighbours dog launched an unprovoked attack like that on of my kids it would be history, double quick time

understandable

After chasing the dog away the cat then came back to see how the boy was.

It`s an amazing video.

makes a nice change they usually  smother  kids   

not intentionally

Cat would have been defending his territory

Absolutely ebulGery, to suggest that the cat was intentionally defending the brat is ridiculous.

No it's not. You clearly know nothing about cats.

Can foreign cats be awarded the George medal....this one is a hero and deserves all the accolades going. As for the dog looks trailer trash to me and therefore a put down job.

Am i the only one that thinks this is fake

I kept a cat once.
I couldn't even train it to keep people off my property.
Yet I the dog I kept before I had the moggy would rip any one to bits who set foot in the place.

By the way
That dog in the video wanted putting down if it let a cat run it off.

What's the relevance of that post Crippen? The cat in that video wasn't trained to defend (although you certainly can train cats up to a point). It's called instinct!

The dog was like a lot of dogs. It could give it but it couldn't take it.

That house doesn't need 3 cctv cameras, no burglar  is going to won't to step foot in there.

If you stop it at 00:31 there's even a nice view of his mum, this video's got it all

must be a bad neighbourhood ,blacked out windows on the SUV a  giveaway .Lucky  the cops did not have a blow out  and kill a few peeps in the crossfire .

Absolutely ebulGery, to suggest that the cat was intentionally defending the brat is ridiculous.

I would not go that far Dr Crippen

A cat will defend it's territory. But cat's have bee known to warn owners.

So may would have sensed a danger to this child, part of owners family.

I don't know I am not a cat psychologist. I do not think this was a fake.

I was brought up with  a cat about the house, still have one, a home does seem complete

to me without one.

Some people love him, some people hate them.

ps

They can be fussy eaters

fairly easy to ignore the comments, seeing as they arent in english.

Territory is everything to a cat, often more important than their owners to them.

In the wild they would have to carve out their own territory in which to hunt. So it is a basic instinct to a cat.

In our modern urban world, a cat is not a bad companion animal.

Dogs cannot be left on their own, cats can.

Dogs must have daily walks, cats exercise themselves.

The biggest problem a modern cat owner has...IS THE VET BILLS

rip off city

Had my cat for years and years, feed it every day (twice - small amounts), water it, change its litter tray. If I died the cat would walk past my corpse and not bat an eye.

They have more psychological feelings than you think Pounf

In fact all mammals and birds to an extent do.......

We need to find and explain altruistic behaviour in them

because we need it ourselves, we have a lot less than you may think

Cats are also relatively clean animals

they bury their droppings

often in neighbour's gardens I am afraid

cats cannot recognise human boundaries, only cat ones

neighbours should use buckets of water, hosepipe to deter them, if they are not happy

good manure though

all cats are different like we are. ive had cats that would get upset when i went out and jump all over me when i gt back home. ive also had cats that as soon as i fed them theyd bugger off and id never see them until they were hungry again.

true Bob

A dog will always be the most loyal..because of its nature

It is a pack animal. it will defend its pack ...which is how it sees us

A wild cat is an individual animal...it sticks to us, because its think we are a parent

They are not the same...so don't expect the same 

I had a dog once, he was everything a dog should be

I am not mobile enough to have one now,

Some people like the independence they see in cats

some of us admire its brazen nerve...the way it seems to see us as a permanently open restaurant

a cat is like us, in fact all life

it is just trying to make the best of things in a tough world

Cats are also relatively clean animals

they bury their droppings

often in neighbour's gardens I am afraid

Yeah but their widdle  stinks and they do it in the same place all the time, plus they don't always get a chance to bury their shytes and sometimes can't if it's a sloppy one.

I am a cat  person but it's rollocks to suggest they're clean just coz they do it in a neighbours garden.

I did not say that..

I said

often in neighbour's gardens I am afraid

I meant

the fact that they did bury their droppings, made them, relatively clean

as opposed to dogs, rabbits, birds, etc

urine is also used to mark cat boundaries

my cat has to do it in someone's garden, I live in a first floor maisonette

I wish he would not, I wish he would go in the woods or something

they also clean themselves a lot, a neutered male, smell less than an unneutered one.

Unless they are used for breeding, all cats should be neutered, male and female

I do have a small front garden, but it is all bushes, but some space in between, I wish he would use it exclusively

how do I tell him??????

who / Kenny ?

my cat!

I know he likes cats, but I really don't want Kenny coming round to use my front garden as his toilet

he would'nt mind

Yeah, well if male cats aren't fixed they do it under your chrimbo tree and the jumper has to be washed, re-wrapped and redirected to a lesser relative
