‘Protective’ feline takes on inquisitive pit bull in Saanich, B.C.
SAANICH, B.C. — The owners of an elderly cat named Baby say their pet’s sudden reputation as a fearless mauler of pit bull dogs is completely undeserved.
Betty Jean Thompson, 78, and her husband Del said they are mystified by the public interest in an incident that happened Monday evening on the front lawn of their home in Saanich, B.C.
Thompson said she was tending her garden when a group of women walking seven large dogs approached on the sidewalk and one of the dogs showed a friendly interest in her.
Beside her lay Baby, the stray, cream-coloured cat that adopted the Thompsons almost 16 years ago.
