Attack geese? Guard Llamas? You may not realize it, but there are many animals that are used as alternative options to owning a guard dog. However, one animal that people often overlook for fighting crime is the cat. Cats aren’t usually very aggressive, and don’t normally have a prominent territorial instinct to protect their owners. However, like with any animal, they’re always full of surprises.
Douglas Beamish was a Canadian man, who committed a crime in 1994. He was convicted of second-degree murder, and sentenced to fifteen years in prison. However, there was something very unique about his trial. Beamish was the first ever murderer that was convicted using the identification of animal DNA. Beamish’s victim had a fluffy white pet cat, which was named Snowball. When Beamish exited the crime scene, he had two strands of cat fur stuck to his jacket pocket. These hairs were traced back to Snowball, and placed Beamish at the scene of the crime.
Some people may have stories of their cats attacking strangers, when they believe their owners may be in danger. A woman named Karen Wilcox shared a story about her cat, and how it tried to protect her.
“I was at home alone, and my cat (Marcy) started growling at the kitchen door. It was dark outside, so I began to get nervous. Suddenly, the door opened, and Marcy attacked the intruder, yowling and clawing at his pants! However, it was only my son’s friend, who was coming over for a sleepover. No damage was done, but now I know that Marcy is very protective of me!”
There are thousands of funny and interesting videos of cats attacking various other people, animals and inanimate objects. Here are a few videos of some “guard” cats.
