This has gone straight to facebook as a shared link. I've seen cats chase bears before, but never up into a tree while keeping them there! Nice

My life's been pretty dull recently. Shrug. My mind is like a void. I haven't gotten anything done lately. I can't be bothered with anything recently.

I just don't have anything to say , but shrug. So it goes. Not much on my mind recently. I can't be bothered with anything recently.

I can do pics like this with image editors. So it isn't big deal!

the comment by 'mark' is both assumptive and ignorant. we don't know who do declawed the cat or why. maybe it was adopted this way, as was one of mine. The important thing is...Jack kicks ass! Even without claws, Jack would probably make 'mark' piss himself. Hooray for Jack.

Come on, this can't be true. It's either faked, or the cat is a lion borned a few days ago. Otherwise that is not understandable :P

You know I telling a friend at work. That this bear is acting like and elephant and he see's a mouse and starts dancing all around (Scared). He could easily just squash it. But, then my friend replied to my comment and said well, when I see a mouse and I am bigger than it I jump too. HA! HA!

Errr... if he\'s an indoor housecat, what the heck is he doing outside.. with a bear? By the way, declawing is barbaric. Shame on you.

That is amazing. I hope Stephen Colbert picks up on this for the Threatdown.

Jack is an indoor housecat and his front paws are declawed. Jack is one cool kat.

More proof of the over-development of suburban sprawl in New Jersey. How many bear stories have we had from New Jersey in the past few months?

But why\'s the cat sitting at the bottom of the tree? It\'s not a dog. It should be able to climb right up after the bear.

Can I borrow Jack for tomorrow? He\'d probably come in handy at the Puerto Rican Day parade.

And I thought my childhood cat was a bad ass for chasing a Red Fox around the lawn.
