Bear scared up tree. Twice. By a cat.

[bigandy]

A black bear got more than it bargained for after straying into a family garden in the US state of New Jersey.

The unwelcome intruder was forced up a tree - twice - by the family pet, a tabby cat called Jack.

Quite a funny article, with a great picture!

I read about this today as well. It's quite funny although I feel sorry for the bear. It looks really scared. I've also been on the wrong end of a cat and it's not much fun :(.

[Boggle]

If it wasn't from the BBC and w/ a photo, I doubt I'd have believed it. Truely remarkable.

And just so damn funny!

[heaven]

Great post! Im studying for my exams right now and I needed a good laugh! Thank you!

doesn't exactly look like the friendliest cat on the planet does it?

There has to be a way to rewrite the lyrics to the Shaft theme for this cat. Any creative types out there?

Poor bear.

Pretty impressive cat.

[devilot]

I wonder if it was an adult bear. Looks small-ish. If it was an older or more experienced bear, you'd think it wouldn't be intimidated by that cat. :p

[2nyRiggz]

That cat is hard core....gangsta kat!

[Applespider]

Wouldn't want to meet that cat on a dark night!

And reminds me of the trampolining bear from last year

[iBrow]

LOL! Thanks for sharing. :)

Black bears don't get very large (well, compared to other bears).

Did the bear really need to go up THAT high?

Hmmm, maybe there was a Powerbook G5 hidden up there :D

[2nyRiggz]

Oh yea he needed to go that high...have you ever felt a cats claw....they hurt man!

So if you're being attacked by a bear..........meow a few times and start licking yourself.

Start licking yourself? where? :p

i love that bit where the cat sits on the edge of the couch for a minute, then jumps straight into the wall...

what was it thinking? :rolleyes:




Start licking yourself? where? :p
:eek: ;) naughty!

[Abstract]

Wouldn't it be weird for the cat to scare the bear up the tree, and then think that the bear was a total p*ssy?

Start licking yourself? where? :p

Use your imagination. ;)

I'm just saying...........cats....they pretty much just sleep and lick themselves most of the time, and this is the type of animal that scares a bear?

[emotion]

Typical that this cat is ginger. I've owned 5 cats, all of them ginger and they're just a breed apart :)

[devilot]

i love that bit where the cat sits on the edge of the couch for a minute, then jumps straight into the wall...

what was it thinking? :rolleyes: Hehe. It was trying to jump from the couch onto the back of the chair-- well, it thought it was, but in reality, it was aiming for the cast shadow of the chair on the wall. :o

[floriflee]

That cat is hard core....gangsta kat!

Nah, he's a FAT CAT! :D

If only the bear knew that the cat could've climbed up after him. I wonder what he'd have done then....

[Black&Tan]

Now I really want another cat....just not a ginger one.

[Thomas Veil]

I saw this in the paper yesterday and laughed my ass off. Funniest true story I've seen in a long time.

Don't be gingerist.

[chaosbunny]

If a cat can do that to a bear, just imagine what it can do to your macbook!

enjoy... or cry...

I have no idea, but it was much funnier than the other cat getting scared by the guy and jumping into it. That cat at least had an excuse.

I must say that I'm glad that at least you didn't post a new thread on it (I think there's been like 10 now....) :D :D

[njmac]

hahah, yup, that bear lives in my neighborhood. There have been 2 small dogs killed by bears this year already - which sucks for everyone because the bear gets killed for that kind of violence. Most of the time though the bears will run away from anything. If I see one in my yard I just scream "go away bear" and they scuddle away or climb up a tree.


That could've been the bear that left his big bear foot prints in my freshly planted garden the other day :mad:

I wish I could :eek:

But poor bear, lets call him Hugger (as in tree hugger) - how is Hugger ever going to live this down with his bear mates? He will be at a bear party and Pooh Bear will come up behind him and say 'Meow' and scare the pooh out of him, or Smokey The Bear will come up behind him and say 'Meow' and Hugger will set the path on fire as he flees, or Teddy will walk up behing him and say 'Meow' and Hugger will be scared out of his underwear or BoBo will creap up behind him and say 'Meow' and Hugger will sulk off sobing 'Boo Hoo'

Now, anyone else want to be extremely silly with bear analogies (it is 11.30 pm Friday night here and I have had a few bears...I mean beers)
