The term scaredy cat is a sham. Most cats I know aren’t scared of anything. When they run off it’s just because they don’t want to deal with your nonsense. That’s because cat’s do what they want when they want.
But scared they are not.
Mugsy the cat is perfect proof of this. He didn’t hesitate for a moment to step up to two fearsome alligators in order to protect a human. And his courageous rescue was all caught on video.
The video begins with a human walking by the alligator. That’s when Mugsy swoops in to make sure the human is safe from the alligator who is creeping up on the shore.
He starts a fierce standoff with the alligator. He and the alligator are head to head.
“Wow, isn’t that interesting,” says someone off camera who is watching the intense interaction.
That’s when the cat makes a daring dart toward the alligator to intimidate him.
And it works! The alligator takes a few steps back not wanting to suffer the wrath of Mugsy.
“Unbelievable, oh my God,” says the viewer. “Don’t get too close. He’s scared of the cat.”
Apparently, the term should be scared alligator.
“The cat has no fear,” the viewer says.
At this point, Mugsy is just cold staring into the alligator’s face making the alligator shrink back. Eventually, the terrifying cat was too much for the alligator to handle and he cowered back into the water.
“Oh wow,” said the man. “That cat showed him.”
But it wasn’t over. The alligator came back out of the water. This time with a friend to gang up on Mugsy. Mugsy did not flinch. Mugsy doesn’t play that.
Actually, he was kind of pissed that the alligator had the cojones to step to him and bring his friend into it. That’s when Mugsy charged right at the reptile and swatted him with his paw causing the alligator to retreat back into the water.
Mugsy then walked up to a boy to get some cuddles.
“Crazy, look at him he’s a friendly cat but aggressive with the alligator. It’s the most amazing thing,” the man says before telling a friend that he ‘s missed “the most amazing thing.”
Mugsy sure did tell those alligators whose boss. MUGSY! He was just trying to do the right thing and protect his humans.
However, it’s unlikely that the humans were in too much danger. BBC Earth reports that alligators are actually afraid of humans. There have only been 24 deaths from alligator attacks over the last 81 years., mostly in Florida.
