Cat repeatedly tries to intimidate lion at Texas sanctuary

[TexasTowelie]

June 15 (UPI) -- A Texas man filmed a brave house cat's attempt to "challenge" a much larger animal -- a lion at an animal sanctuary.

Derek Krahn posted a video to YouTube on Wednesday showing Baggy the cat's attempt to intimidate Noey the lion through the bars of the larger animal's cage at the Center for Animal Research and Education in Bridgeport.

"Oh my gosh," Krahn says in the video, "Baggy, you will lose."

Baggy takes multiple runs toward Noey while striking aggressive poses, but fails to intimidate the lion.

"Baggy, abort!" an amused Krahn yells. "There's nothing to be gained, Baggy!"

1. Did not have the audio on, but

it seemed to be a lot of playfulness on both sides, especially from the lion.
Thanks for posting this.

2. Lol.. That was so cute...

Baggie 'might' have been challenging a bit (calicos/forties tend to have moxie IME) but from the posturing I think the (rather friendly since she licked the guys hand) lioness might have seen her more as a 'baby' and was trying to play with her like she would a cub.
