Who wants a guarddog when one can have...

Jack, the tabby cat. Just have a look at this article on the BBC news site:

"New Jersey, USA - A black bear got more than it bargained for after straying into a family garden in the US state of New Jersey. The unwelcome intruder was forced up a tree - twice - by the family pet, a tabby cat called Jack. The terrified bear was only able to make its escape when owner Donna Dickey called the hissing cat into the house"


"Ms Dickey said Jack liked to keep a close watch on his territory. He doesn't want anybody in his yard," she added.

I think this settles the cat versus dog debate, non? *grin*
