Reply #4: When I Was Just a Lad, We Had a Black Cat Named Midnight [View All]

[Sporadicus]

He was one tough mother. Our neighbor's German shepherd, a mean-spirited beast, escaped from their backyard and came bounding at Midnight. Our cat launched himself, landing on top of the dog's head, clawing and biting, as the dog ran blindly around the corner of the house. I don't know what happened next, but a short time later I saw the dog running down the street with his tail between his legs, yelping at the top of his lungs. The cat was a short distance behind, back arched, 'bouncing' after the dog like Pepe Le Pew. The dog got out of their yard on several other occasions, but he never came our direction again.
