    One of my long gone cats would legit chase the robbers out while trying to eat them. She was half wildcat, I think bobcat, and weighed 75-80 pounds when full grown. She successfully hunted a few deer.

      We had a big tomcat like that. If someone came in the house, all the others would book it under the bed, but Jake would head right for the visitor. He was probably hoping to make a friend, but he was always willing to fight, too, if you were so inclined. Playing, fighting, it was all good fun to him.

        Nah, not a shit post. I don’t think we had panthers in the Midwest. Like I said, I have no clue what she was, but she loved me and was very protective. Had a mottled grey, brown, white fur pattern, and huge ears.
