    Good kitty.

    Quick thinking Cat.
    Here is a rottweiler who kicks a coyotes @ss when the coyote goes for the neighboring chihuahua.

    First the coyote chases and grabs the chihuahua, then the rottweiler comes in from the left and chases him off. Good doggie!

    A bigger 'pussy' story.....

    Times were different in the 1960's......


    A lion who was raised by humans - MUST WATCH!!!






    Published on 17 Mar 2013


    http://KatieLendel.com - VISIT THIS WEBSITE

    A heartbreaking story about a lion who was raised by humans, by the friends
    John Rendall and Ace Bourke. This lion got too big for them, so they put him
    in the wilderness. One year later they decided to visit him in Africa where he
    was put. Scientists said that lions would never remember their human parents
    after such time separated. Something that this film contradicts. It was a
    reunion that you will never forget.

    Description:

    In 1969 Ace Bourke and John Rendall were two young Australian travellers
    who had just arrived in London when they bought a lion cub from Harrods
    department store. It was an impractical "impulse" buy, but while he was a
    cub they felt they could look after him as well as anyone, and do their best
    to secure his future. They called him Christian.

    Ace and John lived with Christian on the King's Road, Chelsea and when
    Christian grew too big they moved to the country until it was arranged for
    Christian to be returned to the wild in Kenya.

    Two documentaries entitled The Lion from World's End, and Christian the
    Lion were made about his life in London, his return to Africa, George
    Adamson assembling a "man-made" pride around Christian, and his
    rehabilitation back into the African wild. Ace and John also wrote A Lion
    Called Christian (1971) which was re-published in 2009 with superb
    photographs by Derek Cattani who documented Christian's early life.

    Forty years later the YouTube clip featuring Christian's unforgettable
    reunion with Ace and John, a year after his return to Africa, introduced
    a new world audience who are intrigued and enchanted by Christian's
    extraordinary story. With the mutual love and trust he shared with Ace
    and John, he has become a symbol of the potential of human-animal
    relationships and the importance and urgency of animal and
    wildlife conservation.

    Serious skills for sure! Artist in action! Fascinating how the one towards the end of the video guided his head gently inside the ring upside down.

    I wonder, was this taught to them or something they do in the wild as well. Still, either way...amazing.
    They do that in the wild, yes. In terms of intelligence, dolphins have a relatively larger brain mass in relation to their bodies than humans do. They are at the very least just as intelligent and sapient as humans, even though they speak another language than we do. It has even already been established that there is a mathematical pattern to the way they communicate via clicks and ultrasound. :-)

    India has declared them as "non-human persons (people)" and gave them some basic rights. Pretty cool if you ask me -- they certainly deserve that status.

    Could have been an edit, but even if so, that was the perfect footage to make that work -- the cat actually acted as though he got busted at something "not normal".

    I agree - either way -- hilarious; if real, hilarious X2. Cats do some pretty random things sometimes. Most of my house is carpeted, and my cat's favourite toy is a marble (or marbles - he must have found a stash of them somewhere as he always has new ones). When he finds a marble, he carries it into one of the bathrooms, closes the doors (to keep the marble from getting lost) and plays one cat air hockey like mad with his marble on the lino; it's pretty funny in the sense he found a way to play with his favourite toy the way he wanted to.

    Dogs are cool too though, I like dogs, but I won't get one until I have a lot with a couple acres at least, else they're a lot of work (getting them in the car for walks at the dog park etc). Cats just live with you and don't ask for much; well, at least my cat doesn't. =)

    Busted for barking out the window ... silly kitty =)
    Sound editing? Man, if that really happened I would have loved to have witnessed in person.

    Either way, funny stuff!
    Could have been an edit, but even if so, that was the perfect footage to make that work -- the cat actually acted as though he got busted at something "not normal".

    I agree - either way -- hilarious; if real, hilarious X2. Cats do some pretty random things sometimes. Most of my house is carpeted, and my cat's favourite toy is a marble (or marbles - he must have found a stash of them somewhere as he always has new ones). When he finds a marble, he carries it into one of the bathrooms, closes the doors (to keep the marble from getting lost) and plays one cat air hockey like mad with his marble on the lino; it's pretty funny in the sense he found a way to play with his favourite toy the he wanted to.

    Dogs are cool too though, I like dogs, but I won't get one until I have a lot with a couple acres at least, else they're a lot of work (getting them in the car for walks at the dog park etc). Cats just live with you and don't ask for much; well, at least my cat doesn't. =)
    Thanks for the share. I really enjoy hearing about personal experiences with their pets/ companions. That is a cool cat.

    I am totally an animal lover but my current situation doesn't lend well with having the type of indoor/ outdoor pet/ companion that I would like (I have had fury friends in the past). After watching these videos it gives me more of a reason to work towards making it happen though.

    Currently I do have an abandoned outdoor cat (neighbor left it when he moved) that comes around to be pet and fed. He currently has no interest in coming indoors.
