I'd imagine if the cat was large enough to have passed as a decent meal and the alligators were hungry things might have ended differently.
Still, cat ftw!
Damn, my cat ran and hid under the table when a stray kitten we brought home took a playful swat at him. But then again, my cat was a pacifist, I never saw him attack anything other than the occasional insect or spider. That is one brave cat, though, and I'm honestly surprised that the alligators backed off like they did.

That cat reminds me a lot of my old pure black tom cat, Pretty Boy. Damned ugliest cat you'd ever see, looked like an old punch-drunk boxer. Massive cat, 20lbs of pure muscle at his best, and he owned all the local dogs, even the Rottweilers and Pit Bulls we had around here. Every time I saw him strut around the park I swear I could hear the theme song from Shaft.
Loved people, liked dogs well enough, so long as they knew their place. If he saw an alligator, I don't doubt for a minute that he would apply the smack down. He must have been doing something right, though, because he lived to be 22, a year older than me when he passed, and he never changed his ways until his final year.
Cheers to bad-ass cats :cool:.

Am I the only one who thinks its totally irresponsible of the 4 or 5 people to stand there for ☺☺☺☺s and giggles while a house cat confronts 2 alligators? Seriously, that cat was obviously a pet and cared for. This could have turned ugly so fast and I guarantee you by the end of the day you'd have 2 flayed alligators in addition to a dead cat.
If that were my cat theres no way I'd risk its life just to make a stupid video. All someone had to do was grab the cat or poke the lizard away with a stick. Not to mention there were kids there. Oh yeah, Timmy learned a valuable life lesson in death today when he watched Mr. Whiskers get slaughtered and eaten.
So if I were to say "you're a complete douchebag who has his head up his ass so far he's using his own eyeballs as glasses," you'd simply shrug it off?

I felt the same way, I'm glad the cat won, but I can't believe the people were just sitting there. It made me sad.

Sounds like to me these gators lived a very sheltered life. Even if they are adults. That also might explain why the cat lived.
I'm very sure the people watching this happening were aware of that as well.
I wish I had half the courage of that damn feline.
Pissing off two gators for no real good reason isn't courage, though.
From the looks of it, the cat, the OTHER cat, and the humans were used to the gators.

My last cat was also quite large. I'm not 100% sure it was a domestic housecat, really, since it was so large some guests thought it was a dog, easily twice the size of the average housecat. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually some sort of bobcat hybrid, since there were bobcats in the wooded hills nearby. The dogs left it alone most of the time, but sometimes they'd grow some balls and try to gang up on it. The cat would ignore them, but if one got close, pow, claw to the face and the dog dumb enough to get close goes running.

Courage only becomes Ignorance if the challenger loses the fight. We see the cat here as one filled with Courage as it was the victor and the gators were the losers.
The gator and it's buddy got there asses handed to by a cat who swatted at them a few times. It shows as when the First Gator's buddy gets swatted at, the Second Gator turns tail and goes back to the waters. The First Gator was still waiting in the water as it didn't want to fight the cat again.
It "could" have gone horribly wrong, but it didn't. Stop worrying as this news is now the past.
I do apologize, as much as I love my cats, there's no way I'm getting close to an alligator for it. They're extremely dangerous, and move a lot faster than they look. Getting close is a fairly good way to lose body parts. That's likely why they didn't move in.

They could've thrown a rock at it or something. Granted I have zero experience with alligators, but that would've been my instinct if my cat decided it wanted to take on a gator.
