Crazy cats

I noticed this story on Yahoo today, about a cat who treed a bear. The thing that jumped out at me was the fact that the cat is an orange tabby.

When we got Roscoe, our orange tabby, we noticed a few things about him. He is unusually vocal (Aka, he complains about every damn thing and appears to talk back if you speak with him or ask him a question.); he hunts like serial killer; he fights all the time; survived an attack from a pit bull while he was still a kitten (with Nate's help, but still); attacks our 55- and 75-pound dogs regularly, including hiding behind shrubbery or furniture and jumping out at them; he SPRAYS his territory, even though he was fixed when he was a kitten; if you call him, he runs to the door like one of the dogs; there's more, but I think you get the idea. Someone told us that (orange) tabbies are known for being exceptionally aggressive and vocal. Not sure if this is true, but when I read the story about the treed bear and the orange tabby, I thought. Yep. That sounds about right. Another one of them crazy tabbies. Roscoe weighs about 13 pounds, by the way.

Roscoe caught a rabbit in Chicago once. A rabbit.
