She's a keeper for sure!<BR/><BR/>When I had Jeff the Cat, he would often arch his back and almost growl when strangers came to the door. I used to call him the Guard Cat. It's amazing how our companions nurture and protect us in ways we would never expect.<BR/><BR/>That's one brave kitty, give her a skritch between the ears for me. I am finally home from Chicago and my daughter left after her week here, so I'm back to reading my buddies again, phew. I've missed you!<BR/><BR/>Lots of love, girl,<BR/>BirdieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692616.post-31920432699554987102007-07-26T10:18:00.000-06:002007-07-26T10:18:00.000-06:00Alright then, boys and girls, here is your lesson ...Alright then, boys and girls, here is your lesson for the day. The link below will take you to photos of the Muntjac. <BR/>http://www.deer-uk.com/muntjac1.htm<BR/><BR/>According to Wikipedia, it's the oldest known type of deer, also called the Barking Deer. Interestingly, it has little antlers and little tusks as well! They fight with their tusks. <BR/><BR/>I think Maya the Kitten could take on a Muntjac, tusks and all, and win. She has sharp claws, they don't.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996018606014560050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692616.post-33532094688102243862007-07-25T09:21:00.000-06:002007-07-25T09:21:00.000-06:00Heidi, sorry that George is dearly departed.

So if you had a cat, it could save you from deadly muntjac attacks.<BR/><BR/>Gossamer, nice to hear from you! My little kitten has great hearing also. Those ears are like radar dishes, swiveling around to catch every slightest sound!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00996018606014560050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692616.post-31781079884335721742007-07-25T09:02:00.000-06:002007-07-25T09:02:00.000-06:00My brother and sister in law also have a cat that ...My brother and sister in law also have a cat that chases deer! <BR/><BR/>My cat has the best ears, and she hears things outside that the dogs completely miss.gossamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799134496729189630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692616.post-47922708351409094042007-07-24T00:24:00.000-06:002007-07-24T00:24:00.000-06:00Wow, what a champ!

And that IS an amazing feat for such a little kitty.<BR/><BR/>We had a similar adventure years ago with dearly departed George, but didn't get it on camera. George wasn't willing to take any guff from the buck, who was stamping his foot and advancing a little too close for our comfort. Hey, those racks are pointy! We intervened. We've had cats since then who have startled deer right out of the yard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692616.post-55417668504402499852007-07-22T23:36:00.000-06:002007-07-22T23:36:00.000-06:00Hey, somebody's gotta leave a comment here about t...Hey, somebody's gotta leave a comment here about these fun - if blurry and small - photos!
