    What do you propose they should do? Kill the dog?

    We could also keep our cats caged up.

    @ Enmos, that cat is so cute!! What's his/her name?

    And yes, they were wild ones. No, I didn't actually watch her do it, she used to go wandering across fields/woodlands to find them. I just saw her dragging them in through my back gate. Sometimes they were still alive and she brought them home to strangle, usually though they were dead. The local dogs were afraid of her.

    Oh I would love to see how you guys would really react if this REALLY did happen.
    You know that your neighbour sits by and watches his lizard eat ppls dogs and cats.
    You sit by and think.....oh well.... Then one day your precious cat or tiny dog that you always keep in the house or in your yard gets out. You have had this pet for yrs and your kids go out looking for it. You later find out that your neighbour watched his lizard eat your cat for lunch. You just tell your kids that poor fluffy is gone no big deal.....and carry on......Come on ppl your reactions are almost as funny as this BS story.

    So your cat roams free then, right ?
    How would you like it if next door's monitor lizard ate your cat one day ? (not referring to your cat eating rabbits

    do you think cosmic just watched it happen? I think if any of us saw it happening we would try and save the animal it was eating. :shrug:

(Usumbara Baboon) and a Eucratoscelus pachypus (Stout-Leg Baboon). I also have 1 pogona vitticeps (Bearded Dragon) and 1 python regius (Ball Python)...

    Depending on the species they can range from a foot or so up to 10 feet, Varanus komodoensis. Some can run at a pretty fast rate as well.

    Yup, I used to "rescue" my cats from wild cats all the time. The guy who lost his eye was a handsome brown tiger kitty and with some care, his wound sealed up very clean. He got used to his changed perspective and went back to being the neighborhood Lothario; though he milked it for all he was worth.

    Another time, a cat was injured in a dog fight, he wasn't our cat, but I cajoled him in and cleaned him up, his lower right paw was bitten through and was amputated, but he too recovered and got over his handicap. Took a long time for his wound to heal completely though and he always seemed surprised when he could not scratch behind his ear with it. (He adopted us some, coming to visit once in a few days for a very long time).

    I did not try to rescue birds and such from my cats though, I preferred for them to have some ability to look out for themselves, apart from the food they got at home.
