Cats Save Owners From Pit Bull Attacks!!!

Oh and I feel so sorry for that woman. Watching that video made me really sad about it. There are dogs that are protective over their owners but then there are those that are very aggresive and just attack people for no reason. I'm getting a trainer for my dog so that she can understand what the difference is between me being in danger and me just talking to someone.

I have absolutely NOTHING against Pit Bulls. Yes, they can be aggressive. Yes, they can be the most kind & loving dog. I love & respect ALL animals & they usually know that. I had a friend that adopted a Pit Bull. When I went to visit, I instinctively tried to make friends. Her husband warned me that the dog didn't like anyone but the family. I calmly talked to the dog, offering him my hand. Before I left that night, the dog was laying against my leg & allowing me to scratch his head & ears. The owner just couldn't believe it!!! I also had a neighbor move off & leave their Pit Bull behind. We worked different hours & I didn't know they were gone at first. That dog would break into my fence & eat my dog's food. He lived with me for a week & he became very protective of me. I probably would have kept him had he not insisted on attacking my puppy every time it tried to eat. I finally saw the owner one day & told them that if they didn't come get the dog, i was turning him over to animal rescue as I couldn't find him s home. After the second week, they came over & took him home with them. I think Pits get a bad rep simply because people don't understand them & most owners want them in order to train them to be mean. Pits do have certain instincts that creates problems for them. The 4 in Michigan belonged to the elderly lady's next door neighbor. She kept them locked in her house while she was at work, but they broke open a window & escaped. she promised that she'd try & find a way to keep them inside. They must not have a good home with the way they were surrounding this woman!!! Fortunately, they never went into full attack mode!!!!

. I had a cat that would attack my hubby every time he hugged me. I think it was more jealousy than bravery!!! I had one cat that would run under the bed every time the doorbell rang. My sweet baby Kip would probably clean himself while I was being attacked. My cat from hell, Romeo, might attack. He has been a lot more loving lately...to the point I'm watching my own back just in case!!!

Hey stranger!!! In my lifetime, dogs have been expected to protect their owners. However, I've seldom heard of many cats who chose to do the same...actually this was the first. Now the cat that jumped in the middle of 4 Pit Bulls & then took off running was brave & pretty confident as to her fleet feet!!! She was smart enough to stay hidden until the dogs left. The one that attacked one Pit Bull while challenging the other was either very brave/confident or close to being stupid. That could have turned out soooo freaking bad!!! My vet has always told me that a cat has the capability of killing an attacking dog, but they just don't know it. Maybe cats are finally learning their inner strengths!!!

From the best I can figure out, when Gissi walks in, everybody runs for cover!!! Love ya Gissi!!! It has been my experience that most cats run from dogs. I found it extremely interesting that both these cats chose to protect their owners by putting themselves in harms way!!! I've made jokes about attack cats, but I've never known one who truly deserved that distinction!!! It's good to know there are some Wonder Cats out there!!!!

I think BOTH cats should!!! They were BOTH brave!!!!

The owner of the dogs just said "it's NOT MY fault". She said she kept them locked in her mobile home during the day when she was at work. The dogs broke out a window & escaped. I cannot imagine how hyper those dogs were when they escaped!!! 4 active, aggressive dogs confined to a small mobile home would be enough to drive the dogs crazy. I find the problem with most Pit Bulls is their owners. They are chosen for their aggressive qualities & then they are NOT socialized so they will become even more aggressive. The ones I've known that were socialized have been very loving & sweet dogs. Back in the 60s the dog to be feared was the Doberman Pinscher. People were in an uproar to have ALL Dobermans eradicated. I had 2 of them & both were very loving & protective. My Dobes never offered to bite anyone, yet made them think they would be bitten if they crossed an imaginary line.I can see the potential for a Pit Bull to be aggressive due to their breeding, but I've seen sweet & loving Pit Bulls also. I have a friend who owns a Rottweiler. That dog is a BIG baby!!!! The meanest dog I ever owned was a 5 pound Chihuahua. The biggest baby I've owned was a 125 pound Doberman. So, I believe any dog has the potential to be dangerous!!!

BOTH cats were heroes!!! It took a brave cat to jump in the middle of 4 Pit Bulls to save her owner. It took an even braver cat to attack a Pit Bull & threaten another. I've owned many cats, but never had one to exhibit that much bravery. One of my cats attacked my husband every time he hugged me. That was more jealousy than bravery!!! She also knew my hubs wouldn't do anything to hurt her in return. The Tom that I had that I called my attack cat was always watching out as if he was willing to protect me, but he was never tested. He had been taken in as a stray & appreciated a good home!!! I have 3 dogs....all bark at strangers, but I don't think any of them would bite. I have a neighbor who rides a bike all the time. They bark at him like they're going to eat him alive, but I doubt they would. I had a mechanic outside my fence working on my car & the dogs were barking like crazy. He walked over to the fence, reached over & pet them on the head. They turned into the loving dogs I know them to be. I like the fact that they make strangers feel they are dangerous as it keeps strangers out of my yard!!!
