WATCH: Brave Cat Stalks, Bitch-slaps Alligator

11/16/2010

Cats Go All Lucha Libre on Astonished Alligator

Mice, bugs, birds, the family dog and inkjet printers are common prey for many domestic housecats - but for some super confident cats, this petty prey is merely child's play. Some cats need something more challenging to keep life interesting and these two somewhat strange down-home cats in Louisiana are certainly gettin' 'er done!

While this video is somewhat unnerving in the beginning (...um, since when is it a good idea to let your pets and kids to play on the riverbank where Alligators are swarming? Hello? ), but after you get into the video you realize that things seem to be under control...thanks to the tag-teaming cats - who are protecting themselves and their people from enormous and intimidating gators!

As you'll see in the video below, this courageous kitty launches a full attack consisting of a few strategic lounges, bitch slaps, nose taps, and a left hook, and sends the disgraced gators packing. Enjoy!

The conduct of the adults in this video is irresponsible. Did you see those kids in that close proximity to an alligator that could easily have killed them? That is not funny.

I have a big Orange female tabby who broke up a fight between my two Pit Bulls!! No joke, if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes I wouldn't have believed it. Cats are something! People need to give them more credit.

[Somebody]

I agree. These adults are just plain idiots. They were just laughing and filming. What were they, betting to see which would be eaten first, cat or child? I really hate people sometimes.

[DesiJay]

LoL thats awesome. thank god the cat didnt get eaten. smiles

This reminds me of a video I've seen called "Badass Texas Rabbit" in which said rabbit repeatedly dodges and proceeds to attack and chase away a rattlesnake. With that in mind, I hereby dub this video "Badass Louisiana Cat."

[Beverly Ayers]

My late cat, Desmond, who died of old age....would chase Dobermans and Pit Bulls out of yard..He was the smartest and best cat ever..silver tabby. I was concerned about the gator situation, having lived in Florida all my life, I know how they are unpredictable. Badass Cats, I love em!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JackieInDallas]

I have to agree with some of the other posters -- this was irresponsible. I'm glad to see (and appreciative of) the cat making a stand, but the people (including the children) are too close to the alligators Those gators are probably hand-fed all the time, which means that they are habituated, which means that they are actually MORE dangerous. The cats are very lucky that they didn't end up going down that gator's gullet!

[rachel]

It is Louisiana. What do you expect? Clearly these gators are used to human interaction, or else they would be no where near those people. Fortunately, these spectators were lucky in the fact that the gators acted docile instead of acting on instinct.

[King]

Okay, listen. It's a good video to see a cat make a gator turn tail and run away. That was cool. And for the morons saying it was unresponsible, its a cat. Their millions of more of them dying from greater things than being a meal for a gator. So, stop crying ajd get over it. Yeah, the kids should of been pulled away from them, oh well. Nothing bad happened.

[R. Savage]

I have a cat that is the same, fearless. From his 9 lives he already has lost 2 for sure. We have to take care of him very closely so he can not put himself in danger. That poor cat on the video could lost his live if the alligators decided to attack him. Alligators when attack are very unpredictable fast.

[Cach Allen]

One day when when one of these idiots loses a kid or the cat maybe they wont play this game anymore! Grow up people!!!!

[Rebecca Blubaugh-Brown]

So the cat has chutzpah, the people didn't. And the video claims it's in Louisiana, well let me tell you those voices sure didn't sound like native Louisianans, sounded more like "snowbirds". No one was acting/reacting with any intelligence (sense of danger for the children. the cats or themselves. And while those two gators were somewhat docile (that second one DID charge out of the water!) the one the cat was fixated one could have easily had her for lunch OR lunged to the right and has leg-of-man for a snack. an habituated gator is gonna kill ya faster than one who is still fully wild. Stupidity begets more stupidity.

@King: You sounded like the loss of one or both of the cats to a gator would be no big thing. Maybe not TO YOU, but to witness such a thing to a child's pet by the child would damage them, psychologically, possibly for life but definitely for some time to come. Pets are NOT NATURAL prey for gators.

[Jo Dean]

Wow, that is one cool cat dude.

Grow a pair people. This was a controlled environment. Go back into your suburban homes and lock yourself inside your homes and watch life pass you by out your window.

[anonymous]

Seriously...the kids were perfectly fine...just because your still breast feeding your kids and keeping on a choke chain at 12 years old doesnt give you the right to judge someone else...take a look at your parenting skills before you sit in judgement of someone elses....

[carol rich]

I don't know quite what to say!!If I had been there, I probably would have been begging my husband to save the cats and the kid, cause you can't count on the gators not to attack!!!!

[Aleina]

Brave one.Oh that is the reason these cats are celebrating !

[cool cat]

typical hillbilly inbred americans....

cool cat though

[Paige Lee]

I have to agree with Gary Dill. While it's cool that the cat sent the gator packing, the conduct of the adults in this film is anything but. It's just wrong.

[Paige Lee]

@Anonymous -With wild animals, there is no such thing as a controlled environment. It's like saying, "Let's play with an electric chainsaw since we're in a controlled environment." No matter how good you've become in playing with that saw, you're bound to make a mistake and injure yourself at one point. No matter how seemingly tame that gator is, it does have instincts. 'Nuff said.

[Betty]

¡La nauraleza es magnifica! cada uno cumple el rol que le corresponde, me encanto la autoridad del gato.

[nikki]

ur an alligator u can swallow that cat in a heartbeat.. instead u sit there and let him beat you

[corina]

I hate to see stuff like this it is only a matter of time before the kids or the cats gets caught off gaurd by the gators Notice how suddenly two gators show up next time it could be three or four and corner the children or the cats . Gators are fast. All it takes is one time and bad day for kid or cat. Grow up stupid parents keep kids and cats out of harms way Love your kid and cat.NOT VERY MUCH.

[displeased read]

it was obviously under control calm down people.

[chris]

That cat isn't long for this world....
