Years ago our young family had a new kitten. The kitten was exploring the back yard when the neighbor's pit bull (running loose as usual) saw it and charged. The kitten retreated farther into the back yard where the pit cornered it against the fence. I was told this story by a neighbor boy who ran to the door and knocked frantically to tell me that the cat was being attacked. I grabbed up my axe handle and ran to the back yard expecting to find a gory scene. As I rounded the house, the pit bull went tearing by me running the other way with blood all over his head and neck. Afraid of what I'd find, I continued into the back yard to find the cat. There he was sitting by the fence calmly licking blood off his fur. I inspected him for damage but found none. It turns out the kitten had attacked the pit and ripped half his ear off and raked his throat pretty good. The neighbor came over later in the day wanting me to pay the $400 vet bill. I told him he must be kidding me - I had clearly warned him to keep his dog out of my yard - and now he knew why - Ninja Attack Kitten...
