Clawless kitty chases bear up tree
 Who
needs a guard dog when Jack the elderly suburban housecat is on duty?
The 10-year-old New Jersey tabby
defended his neighbourhood turf earlier this week by chasing a wandering black
bear up a tree — twice.
West Milford residents Suzanne and Jack Giovanetti first noticed a bear huddled
in a tree in their backyard on Sunday afternoon.
Sitting beneath the tree: A seven-kilogram, orange-and-white, declawed
neighbourhood cat named Jack.
The bear remained in the tree for about 15 minutes, frequently looking down at
Jack.
When it slid down the tree and ran off, Jack was hot on its heels.
Cat is 'territorial'
Suzanne Giovanetti told the Star-Ledger of Newark that the cat was hissing at
the bear as it gave chase.
The bear climbed up into a second tree until Jack's owner, Donna Dickey, called
the cat home.
Jack sits under the tree.
