A woman who must be holding a baby from the sounds on the video sees a bear coming onto her porch from inside. She attempts to shoo it away, but obviously the bear does not even know she is inside watching through a window. It seems the bear wants her garbage, and the moment the bear gingerly grabs a plastic bag of garbage a cat appears and confronts the bear. What we have next is a standoff that the bear is not sure he wants to get into. Eventually he does get the garbage bag, but he takes all precaution to avoid the menacing cat who does an admirable job of protecting the home front.

It's a foreign woman in Germany or Norway maybe, but if anyone can identify the language I would appreciate a heads up as to what she is saying.

I watched this and I was totally amazed the way the cat stood up to the bear. Now I am sure the bear would have had thew cat for lunch if it came down to it, but the way the cat protected it's home is something that is worth seeing.

Great video! It’s amazing what a cat will stand up to.

What a video! I had a little delicate refined Siamese cat, couldn't have weighed more than five pounds, that attacked a Greyhound dog that was trying to get at her kittens (on our property) and the poor dog almost died. The vet bill must have been huge, but the neighbors were sensible enough to understand that they were responsible. My husband had a cat that terrorized and chased a wandering German Shepherd all the way down the driveway!

I like dogs, don't get me wrong, but I like cats better. Cats don't bark. (We live in a neighborhood where a few folks have poor dogs that bark all day long when their owners are gone)

That’s one tough cat!1 I’ve had cats in my life time that have kicked the crap out of things twice, even three times their size. I think in larger animals they’re just stunned that something that small takes them on. However one or two well aimed and well landed claws from a cat around the nose or eyes convinces most dogs and other animals a hasty retreat is in order. The language on the tape sounds Norwegian, not German.

Quebecois, not Norwegian. The location is about 140 miles northwest of Montreal.

We had a mama cat that attacked a German Sheppard to protect her kittens. The poor dog did not know what hit him. He ran off less some hair.

My husband had a momma cat that would beat the garbage out of the huge German Sheppard that lived next door. That Sheppard was a slow learner, he kept coming back a few days after allowing for some healing of his nose.

What a cool cat!

I don’t mind the barking...especially when strangers are around. I just wish my cat loving friends wouldn’t let their felines leave sh*t biscuits in my flower bed. (Gag)

I read somewhere that animals do not have a sense of “size” when confronted by another animal or in deciding to be aggressive towards another animal.

Not long ago there was a video of a mouse snacking on a Tigers meal in a compound in Australia and despite the Tigers trying to move the little mouse off it’s food by pushing with it’s nose, the mouse just kept on eating and the Tiger had no clue what to do.

I had a German Shepherd who was terrified of little dogs and when one came in sight would pull me the other way. Yet this same dog would not hesitate to stand against a dog as large or larger then she was.

I don't mind the barking when strangers are around -- I like very much that my next door neighbor's dog does just that, and ONLY that; otherwise, the dog keeps its yap shut. I DO mind dogs barking hour after hour after hour, from their yards where their owners are gone all day, on what should otherwise be a quiet workday. My sweethart and I both work at home, so it's the equivalent of having to work in an office where the guy in the next cubicle is blasting his radio and you can't get him to turn it down.

I don't blame you for objecting to "sh*t biscuits" (LOL!) in your flower beds! It's why I keep a catbox in the house, which my cat apparently uses exclusively (by the amount I have to remove daily -- otherwise that cat sh*ts prodigiously indeed!), even though the cat usually spends about half the day outside. I view my having the catbox the same way I view my nextdoor neighbor going to the trouble of training her dog to bark ONLY at the appropriate times: the considerate thing to do.
