Dude, my cat just kicked a racoons a$$. It attacked the racoon, the racoon lept on him, he slashed at its throat and it ran away, my cat is awesome, and big.

Good job on killing that oversized rat.

Cats are pretty fierce though sometimes. When I was a kid we had this big cat that used to torment the dogs all the time. It would trap them in a room and sit in a doorway and not let them out, sometimes for hours. The dogs never had the balls to do anything about it either.

There is no way any cat could beat the giant raccoon that lives in my yard. It used to live in our dumpster, but ever since we got trash pick up out here in the middle of nowhere, I think it makes its home underneath our deck. I swear it as big as a coyote.

Oh wait, I misunderstood the symbolism. Sorry about this *me backs out*

One of my mom's friends had a vicious cat.

Used to bring in JackRabbits :eek:

Well, I could get one of the giant, child-seizing owls that live around here to come kill that thing... I swear, about a week ago around this time of night, I get up, walk over to my window, and there, in my backyard, is this thing that I can't really see that clearly... It's about 3 feet tall, and in the dark almost looks like a little kid. So I walk downstairs to the back door and turn on the porch light, and this huge-ass motherfucker owl just suddenly flies off. I swear, that thing looked like it could carry away kids! They're like the local legend, everyone that's seen them (which is probably half the people here) talks about them, and the others just think they're nutjobs. One of my friend's dogs got carried away by one of these things...

:eek:

Czardas, you are one sick piece of phallic preoccupation.

That’s really creepy. Any idea of the species of the owl?

Owls can't be that size. There was a reported case in Scandinavia about a small child being carried away by a giant eagle in the turn of the last century.

Sounds like the Great Gray Barn Owl.

I have some pretty huge owls around where I am, but my cats can either run fast enough or out smart it. BTW Sino, I did not mean the racoon slashed the cats throat, I mean the cat slashed the racoons throat.

I knew exactly what you meant.

Nope, none.

Well, I'm not saying that they do carry away kds, jsut that they seem big enough to. Come out here and go for a night drive east of town and you'll see them, I promise. *evil laugh*

Sino: then I don't get your first statement, oops, my bad, I thought you said cat, not rat, sorry!

Owls are awesome!

Poor doggy :(

Cats are, indeed, kickass.

I work in a petstore, and every time I see someone buying catfood and dogfood, I ask, "So, whose in charge, the cat or the dog?"

Nifty little breakdown:

If the dog is larger than the cat, the cat.
If the dog is the same size as the cat, the cat.
If hte dog is smaller than the cat, about 50/50.

Parrots rule them all. There was one African Grey that would watch Animal Planet with its “owners” (not a real word for parrot ownership, all parrots consider you their equal, and you’re likely to get hurt if you don’t think the same). It eventually started saying things like “Want a doggy.” (yes, parrots can comprehend speech, the only mimicking thing is a myth, some parrots are as smart as chimpanzees) So the “owners” eventually got a dog for the bird, the bird was happy, saying “thank you.” Now, the next time the parrot was eating, it started throwing the food that it didn’t like at the dog, and the dog of course ate it, so the bird wouldn’t have to. Now that is one smart, not to mention, manipulative, bird!

that story is so fucking awsome that i dont even care if it's true

...my best friend called me "parrot-fucker" yesterday, and I'm not sure why.

Ive known parrot owners who say that some parrots can have the intelligence equal to a three year old human.
Thats fairly impressive for an animal.

As for the Great Gray Barn Owl, those things can get nearly three feet in height..thats a damn big bird.

They still don’t beat the Great Bustard. Those things may only be two and a half feet tall, but they have a wing span of seven feet, and can weigh over forty-five pounds!
