1. That's one bad-ass ninja cat right there. You don't mess with ninja cats.

I've never really heard of them being protective of humans like that.

2. I think there's a backstory here

wonder what it is?

4. Here's the full video

I love how the cat comes back after chasing off the dog, as if to check in on the kid. But I have to wonder WTF was up with the dog??? It seemed like a normal pet doggie, but it really went after that poor kid's leg!

6. Feral?

7. A friend on FB said it had terrible owners, and is in the pound now

And will be put down

8. Considering what it did to the kid

being put down wasn't surprising.

9. Exactly. It's still sad. A cute doggie neglected and ill-trained :(

5. I saw the video

The boy had lacerations, but thankfully, the cat stepped in.

15. The youtube video has a photo of child's injuries. Look like pretty deep wounds.

He needed stitches to close them up. I hope they check the dog for rabies.

10. That cat fucking rules

11. That cat knows how to throw a body check

12. That cat better get a lifetime supply of tuna snacks and catnip.

And a throne. A very fancy one.

14. That's absolutely amazing.

That cat deserves a medal.

16. In the ongoing debate of cats vs dogs, today the cats made vast headway.

That poor dog (it's only 8 months old and being put down now) never stood a chance. Kitty found its superpower and wasn't afraid to use it. The word is out on the street. Don't mess with his kid!
