My cat beat up 2 pit bulls

Tweet

Well, the rescued cat, Leonardo managed to sneak past someone coming out of the back door. He ran through one yard, I went after him and almost caught him. He managed to get through the fence through my yard, and into the neighbors driveway. By the time I got to the front it was too late, he had crawled under the gate into the neighbors yard and into the mouths of 2 pit bulls. He did manage to get underneath a firepit that barely could protect him. I ran to the door in a panic and told my neighbors what happened, and she went out to chase her pits into the house. Her husband came home just then and let me into the yard to retrieve Leonardo. He lost part of his long, fluffy gorgeous tail, and has some bruising on his backside from the mouths of the dog, but is otherwise ok. He did manage to scratch one of the dogs pretty good. I am rather proud of him because nothing that enters that yard ever comes out. Leonardo not only survived, he did not get hurt very badly (internal injuries and such) and left one dog a mess. Hopefully he will learn his lesson and stay in the house from now on. I had a friend build a gate on the enclosed back porch so he cannot sneak out of the door. So far, he has been cooped up in the guest bedroom. Tomorrow he gets the stitches out and the cone off his head, and he will be free to roam the house again. I guess we will see if he tries to get out or not. I hope he does not try, it would break my heart if he got himself into more trouble and hurt again.
