Cat vs. Alligator (VIDEO)

Alligators can normally take on most would-be aggressors - but most would-be aggressors don't include this stray cat here.

Caught on camera by a group of tourists taking a Cajun Pride Swamp Tour in and around southern Louisiana, the alligator attempts to snap away his feline foe as he eats some chicken laid out for him.

But this little kitty wants some chicken too, and isn't that easily scared. Cue a couple of textbook left hooks to the jaw and suddenly the gator has slunk bank into the water.

That's right, in a battle between a cat and an alligator, the cat won - though the gator did get plenty of time to chomp down some chicken, it must be said.

Of course, this isn't the first time cat-kind has taken on animals twice its size - as this video gallery below proves...

a brave cat but it's sad how the gator couldnt finish his meal that was for him..its just like giving ur animals food but taking it away after 3 bites... its not right, someone should of taken the cat away and let the gator eat.

A very bravy little cat. What in the world was wrong with those people? They should have taken it out of harms way. Stupid people.

Found two more videos, one of which offers an explanation about why the gator backed off ...

My cats Beauford and Thomas chased off a small black bear about a year ago. I thought they were dumb then. This cat is dumber.

"... Wonder what the cat's endgame is? ..."

Ho, Ho, Ho, Ha, Ha, Ha, let's watch this alligator it might possibly take the cat instead of the chicken. Instead of using our common sense and try to chase the cat off for it's own safety.
Whoops! We wont have a youtube vid then though will we? I mean, we'll have to contribute - there's only millions on there already!
