    WEST MILFORD, N.J. – A black bear picked the wrong New Jersey yard for a jaunt earlier this week, running into a territorial tabby who ran the furry beast up a tree twice.

    Jack, a 15-pound orange-and-white cat, keeps a close vigil on his property, chasing small animals when he can, but his owners and neighbors say his latest escapade was surprising.

    “We used to joke, ‘Jack’s on duty,’ never knowing he’d go after a bear,” cat owner Donna Dickey told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday’s newspapers.

  1. That’s neat. I suppose it’s only pure coincidence that the cat and the fox match, but it made things interesting. He must have been a pretty bold fox, too, if he hung around for all of those pictures. But I guess he had something to distract him, too.
