This Cat Was Stalking A Family Of Moose When An Unexpected Showdown She Wasn’t Ready For Took Place

[Music] animals in the wild faced a lot of challenges to ensure their survival they have to hunt or forage for food seek or build shelters weather everything that nature throws their way and actively tend to their packs our herd if they want to protect their progeny it's a cutthroat life and any interaction with another creature is usually a matter of life or death domesticated animals on the other hand don't need to rely on their instincts as much they've got a warm bed to sleep in an endless supply of food and friends whether they're the furry or human kind but every once in a while our pets can't help but draw on their ancestors wild tendencies and it often leads them into some tricky and hilarious situations just take this kitty for instance some house cats are born hunters be it an insect inside of the home or a bird or squirrel just out of reach beyond the windowpanes felines can't help their natural instinct to chase and hunt down prey of course no house cat truly needs to do this with a warm bed and a full food dish they've got everything they need to survive no instincts necessary Tammie Simpsons cat ginger seemed to accept this wholeheartedly not only had she never indicated any desire to hunt but Tammy said that ginger didn't even know how to do it she hasn't figured out how to hunt Tammy said despite the fact that she's seven years old thankfully Ginger's lack of hunting ability has never really bothered her owner her kitty always made it clear she preferred lazing around to pouncing according to Tammy ginger also suffered from serious anxiety whether Tammy moved furniture or used the vacuum cleaner or if a guest made a sudden movement ginger would fly into an absolute panic she didn't exactly have the demeanor to stalk anything and that was all fine by Tammy she adopted ginger for companionship not for Mouse hunting skills so she didn't mind that ginger shirk her natch instincts in favor of domesticated life I was very sick for a very long time you know people exhausted me said Tammi ginger likes to cuddle and so cats are good healing companions so that was why it was so surprising to Tami when ginger began to develop an interest in something outside moose the gigantic creature would sometimes show up in Tami's Alaskan backyard and Ginger's seemed fascinated by them she even me out to be let outside when a mother moose and her calf appeared now moose don't typically go out of their way to target people or other animals but they can be territorial especially when provoked if a moose spotted a dog or a cat and thought that they were behaving like a predator they could become quite aggressive and charged causing injury or death Tammie knew this and she was hesitant to let ginger outside for her own safety but the cat was so insistent that Tammie eventually cave she watched carefully as ginger faced off against the moose in her calf it was almost as if ginger was stalking them thankfully the momma moose didn't seem to mind their first encounter was so successful that Tammie felt comfortable letting ginger wander near them if I pointed out to her if I'm like hey there's a moose she's out on the deck ready to watch them Tami said Tami said that as soon as ginger spotted the moose all she wanted to do was go outside and investigate ginger became so comfortable around her new friends that she began to inch closer to them every time they stopped by one day ginger became a bit too curious she moved closer to the moose who then stood up the moment the ginormous mother moves began to approach the curious cat ginger seemed to have second thoughts she quickly scampered back to the safety of the house still ginger didn't give up and she kept perfecting her hunting skills after that she was even more curious about the moose family when two calves appeared alongside the mother Tami loved watching ginger become more brave but each visit also made her nervous if the Moose felt at all threatened this Kitty would be in huge trouble ginger might not have been the best hunter but she certainly knew how to make an entrance she'd start off by charging down the hill towards the moose that might have seemed like an aggressive move but the mother and her babies seemed more content to make friends than anything else Tammie believed that the mother moves left ginger alone because she could sense how excited ginger was to interact with them especially the babies it seems like when there's Babies in particular she likes to head out there said Tammie while ginger made huge strides in overcoming her anxiety the moose and her babies also got an incredible opportunity to socialize with a creature outside their species it certainly made for an unusual experience that was because mother animals are usually very aggressive towards anyone or anything approaching their calves young moose are very vulnerable confirm Jessi coltrane from the Alaskan Department of Fish and Game the maternal instinct to protect their offspring is stronger at certain times of the year too while that might be the case with most moose it definitely was not the case here this was one mama moose who was just fine with ginger she's not bothering them Tammy said like I've never seen the moose get really upset even once there were two calves she didn't care - Tammy none of that was unusual while ginger might not have been much of a hunter she did have her own particular quirks she likes to put paper in her water dish and just kind of move it around she also loves hanging out in the sink said Tammy ginger also had some funny ways of asking her for attention - she won't meow or anything said Tammy she'll get really close to your face and just stare and eventually it wakes you up like you can sense something's there it's very terrifying it makes me jump every time for such a scaredy cat she sure seemed assertive meanwhile ginger and the moose family continued to enjoy a very special bond while they made for an odd couple there was no denying that they truly enjoyed being around each other's company even if ginger tried to hunt the moose at first have you ever heard of anything so sweet ginger might not be like most cats but her unique way of behaving helped her meet some very special friends [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
