What happens when you're a 10-pound cat, cavorting in your backyard, and a 300-pound black bear decides to cavort there, too?
If you're a cat named Jack, you attack the bear. At least, that's what a tabby cat by that name did when confronted by the significantly larger presence.
The bear was so startled by the rampaging tabby that it climbed high up a tree for protection and hung on with frightened mien while Jack sat below on guard, until the police arrived and anesthetized the bear, to transport it to safer territory.
Jack's owner is now thinking of enrolling the fearless lightweight to act as a guard during African safaris and protect unarmed tourists from any lions who stray too close.
