As you are being axe-murdered in your living room, your cat...

[Padraig18]

:P

1. There's no "Other"

Mine would purr and rub against him and try to get patted.

[Padraig18]

2. LOL!

So would mine, if he thought he'd get fed. :P

3. Strange as it sounds...

My 20-lb Maine Coon growls like a dog when strangers come to the house. One time, my wife brought a neighbors dog in the house and then she tried to pick up the cat; the cat literally punched her in the eye, giving her a black eye.

This cat's paws, with claws spread, are as wide as the palm of my hand. Maine Coons ROCK!

[Padraig18]

4. And they're BEAUTIFUL, too!

:)

14. They do rock, LastChance - mine does NOT tolerate dogs.

She had a friend's two malemutes running in panic the other day.... Lots of folks on DU with Maines!!

5. My current cats

would just go to another room to avoid the noise, but my old cat, Scooter, would be sharpening the back-up axe and offering to take over when the attacker got tired.

Scooter's in hell now.

[Padraig18]

7. Really?

Sounds like Scooter had a bit of an 'attitude'... :scared:

[Ksec]

6. LOL

My cat would just give me that "dont bother me" look

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

9. Our cats run for cover

when even friendly people come over, so I imagine with an axe murderer they'd do the same.

[VOX]

8. Dobbs' super-keen, distant-early-warning hardwiring would alert me

to the malefactor's presence, and I would proceed to dispatch him, axe and all (awl?), with my trusty cricket bat that I keep by the nightstand.

If, however, I somehow missed Dobbs' cues, it's a tale of two kitties. After "sounding the alarm," Dobbs would be under the bed, no doubt. But Rose would watch with fascination. She really checks out anyone who comes into the house, but that where it stops.

edit: typos!

[Padraig18]

10. Hmmmm

Rose sounds like she has that curious, clinical detatchment seen only in cats and pathologists at autopsy...;)

[baldguy]

11. I remember the movie "Alien".

When the beast is chewing on Harry Dean Stanton, Jones the cat is crouching under a shipping crate ... watching

[Padraig18]

13. Good catch!

I'd forgotten all about that...:)

[MrSlayer]

12. My cat is a killer.

He would bite the living shit out of any intruder. He does it to us all the time.

[Cuban_Liberal]

15. LOL!

I was laughing so hard at the choices I almost forgot to vote! ;)

[SOteric]

16. My cat adores me. He follows me from room to room.

He comes when I call to him. He's huge (not fat, huge) and he's fierce.

I doubt that he could administer much in the way of first aid, but I don't doubt for a minute that he'd get medeival on anyone wielding an axe at me in my living room.

[MrMonk]

17. Watches with interest

and wonders what your soft bits might taste like.
