That's a good boy.

Yeah, the wound footage was pretty bad, but maybe the dad was editing this for evidence more than internet fame. Just a thought.

I doubt the cat would have come running back to check whether the palm tree was ok and continued to guard it. Kitties love their humans. Just admit it.

Toonces!!

Definitely!

Adrenaline. People have been known to do superhuman things even while severely injured once the adrenaline gets going. Mothers picking up cars off their children, people with gunshot wounds doing things uninjured people would find difficult. Adrenaline is pretty amazing.

Cats find their owners all the time. I, personally, lost a kitten in a park quite a long walk from home (I was about 10, and carried him there), and it took him a few days, but he somehow came climbing over the neighbor's fence to get home (definitely NOT how I had taken him). There was an article I saw recently where…

He wasn't unsupervised, the mom was right there, she was to him in seconds. Unless you'd rather the kid be the one tethered, what more could they have done? Besides, SuperKitty was on duty.

Yeah, that really freaked me out too — the tail was up and wagging, the dog just trotting along, doing its doggy thing, and then it turns into the hound from hell. If I hadn't seen it, I would have sworn that there must have been signs that were missed (not by the boy, just in watching it), but nope. Nada. Happy…

And if I were that kid's dad, I might've shot that dog already, no matter the consequences.

yes, your cat probably sees you as territory and/or as a fellow cat human.

That is so gorgeous — that's not "just" a quilt, that's freaking art. What a wonderful way to honor your kitty, and to keep her close. Wow.

... hanging out about ten feet behind us so no one things they belong or something.

That probably wouldn't be such a great idea, as they are observing the dog for rabies. Once cleared, it will be euthanized. The last thing you want is to further traumatize the kid by making it go through rabies shots unnecessarily.

Yeah, I was looking at the dog's body language, and it looked pretty happy-go-lucky to me, tail up and wagging, just trotting around. It did hear something, and was more interested as it rounded the back of the car.

Well, considering the world-class universities that are not doing much about what they have determined to be rape, I wouldn't hold out much hope for any sort of repercussions.

Add the raspberry-eating bunny and you've got the cutest, fuzziest fruit salad EVAR!

Chopping off your leg would have resulted in the weight loss the doctor wanted, maybe then they would have treated the sciatica. Oh, wait .... :-/

Yeah, this. I'm fortunate in that I'm physically without chronic ailments, so my doctor avoidance is not a huge deal. On those occasions I've gone the doctor route though, the experiences were not confidence inspiring.
