Seaweed! Seaweed!
Make a nice pair of slippers?.........sorry
Totally agree. Though I'm talking about my sadly departed Ginger Tom, who was up for fighting anything. Maybe Ginger Cats are the toughest? I remember (when I lived out in the sticks) seeing a huge rat walking on my conservatory roof, I grabbed Crumplin (for that was his name!) from the front room, tiptoed with him to the kitchen, pointed up to the conservatory roof, he saw the rat and then he was off like a shot. No fear at all. A coward? Yeah, right.
I too had many a vets bill treating deep wounds on every part of that boys body, by the age of 11 his ears were ripped to shreds and his nose scarred to f*ck.

Gingers always seem to be the most aggressive,and talikng about showing Crumplin the rat?
Well years ago i worked at a breakers yard,we had 5 cats,nobody else bothered but i would out of my own money,buy and feed them 2 cans of whiskers a day...
anyway,the biggest.....he was huge grey black tabby,white paws,and breasted,and tail tip,Capone was his name would kill anything,lost count of the rats with heads ripped off,funnily enough they would rarely eat them,and at times they were hungry enough to..
He even dragged a hare,twice his size up onto racking 7ft odd feet up in the air in the back of the workshop,and stared down at me if i dared come near him to take it off him..
I do have a cat actually. But mine does not have the killer instinct yours obviously does despite her Bengal heritage. I am impressed your cat can deal with weasels but your comment on dogs is interesting . . .who are these visitors
Mrs Mangel and bouncer. . . .Robbie & Wellhard. . . Paul O'Grady and Buster You probably live in a much nicer area than me if you can entertain Robbie, Mangel and O'Grady for high tea spoiling them all with Mr kiplings french fancies & PG tips pyramids but where I live, the off-the-lead staffies tend to finish off cats (if they can catch them) long before the claws, hisses or self inflating stances take effect.

Not true. I am an owner of two brothers. Percy has succesfully chased away many foxes. He's as hard as nails. The local cats know not to stray on our portion of BN1.
I'm confused as to whom the pussies are. The foxes or Percy.

Harriet is a ginger and still can be vicious poor old Meggy gets it sometimes when she gets a cob on
My old cat Floyd is a double hard *******. Or an idiot. He takes on foxes. Hasn't lost badly yet...
Your obviously not a pet lover then, you seem to take pride in your dogs taking a cat, good for you, yes I have a Staffy and a cat, I love them both, just being part of a family, especially with young grand kids who do nothing but love them, sad some people use animals as a part of making them think they are something special, maybe try and get yourself a spot on Jeremy Kyle, that should get your ego going.

I too can testify to the hardness of gingers, I had one that killed a HERRING GULL once. ****ing massive it was. Our neighbour had an alsatian that was scared shitless of it.

Rubbish, I've seen my old cat attack a fox and a dog abou 5X it's size.

Interestingly that cat was also ginger, I think there's a theme emerging!
Ok. I give up. Cats are hard. (Did the cat attack the dog & fox at the same time because my former comment is predicated on that fact)

I used to have a cat that regularly played with a squirrel. They used to chase each other around. One minute I'd see the cat chasing the squirrel then the next minute I'd see the squirrel chasing the cat.

My old retired Greyhound knocked off three cats in the backyard during his retirement years. Only once did he even look like he had a scratch on him. Either he was good at what he did or the opposition was rubbish.

Never had a cat, but we used to keep an un-neutered Tom in our warehouse of the old municipal market. His name was Jaffa and he was completely evil. Primarily there to protect Avocados!

My Daughter's cat is very like the one in the OPs picture but slightly smaller. However, she hides in the bushes in the Garden and chases squirrel and foxes the moment they appear. She once bought a dead squirrel back, but I suspect she nicked it off a fox. Although the foxes appear far bigger than her, anyone who has ever held a fox knows that it is all fur and even the ones that appear large are very small and light.
I think every cat our family have ever owned have chased foxes and i've never known a fox turn and have a go back. Top Boys ? pah !
*edit* and the Gingers we have had are the hardest

I also had a beautiful labrador called 'Albie'. My wife at the time wanted a dog and I wasn't too keen - being a cat person - so in order for her to have her wish I insisted on naming it. 'Albion' rapidly became shortened to 'Albie', but by then I was too hooked on him to care.
