Watch a cat fend off a dog by barely moving an inch

If there's one thing we've learned from the decades of cinematic fight scenes, it's that the more powerful and skilled opponent doesn't move until he or she has to. Witness the effect in this video featuring a rambunctious Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a statuesque kitty. Calm like Clint Eastwood in a western road, centered like an outnumbered Bruce Lee, the cat merely watches the dog circle and prance around, biding time before the inevitable swat. But the cat soon comes alive with a quick and rapid flurry of paws, and the dog is off yelping and running away. Let that be a lesson for anyone who might find themselves outmatched: Be like the cat.
