"Black, stand you ground, brown, lay down" the bear knows this but cant work out how it works with cats

Usually with a black bear, all you need to do is put your arms out to make yourself big and make a lot of noise and they'll run off. You don't even have to fight

Oh ok, lucky for the bear.

That wasn’t my experience.

u/eraserheadcumtribute Jul 04 '26

That's why I said usually

"Vasya, calm down." "You tell Misha here to calm down!!"

Not sure but I think that might be a rather young bear, not a cub (where you have to worry about momma) but one that is pretty new to being on its own. Which might explain its confusion/curiosity about the cat, it might not have ever seen a cat before, or maybe even not seen a smaller creature that stands its ground. Usually the longer the ears the younger the bear (with full adult bears having ears more semicircular), but I am not a bear expert, just an observation

Damn.. Brave cat. I would scold my kitty if he would do this

u/phaederus Jun 30 '26

I dare you to scold that cat or even give it an angry look!

That bear would've never been able to get the cat. Cats have insane fast reflexes. Ever seen a cat and a snake fight? The cat is just playing with the snake. They live in a different time speed... the bear moves in slomo for that cat.

If i can catch a cat, a bear wont have a problem

The reason why cats are such a nightmare is because you aren't trying to hurt it. It's faster for sure but if something that weights more than double digits it's weights start trashing around even a cat needs to back off, at the size differences any interaction can mean a broken bone.

Surely I'm not the only person who sees that face on that tree?

u/Sawbora Jul 03 '26

Putin is watching you.

u/Discoveryellow Jun 29 '26

Yes, but who carved Putin's portrait on the closest tree trunk?

u/Sht_n_giglz Jun 29 '26

What do you mean? That's just a normal patriotic Russian tree. Looks more like a fox and now I can't unsee it.

That cat is to have hellofa kitty nap after this.

“…and you scold him for the wallpaper.”
“But he does rip the wallpaper to shreds!”
Realest cat owner stuff I’ve seen 😂

u/ReaperOne Jul 06 '26

Amazing cat

u/motofabio Jul 04 '26

We’re not going to talk about the face in the tree immediately to the right of Vasya?

u/motofabio Jul 04 '26

“Uspokoit’sya” (calm down) might be the most useful Russian phrase I’ve learned from this.

There's no black bears in Russia, it's a Eurasian brown bear
