Dog attacks

We had a cat that "clicked" when it was following/stalking.

My research indicated it was rudimentary echo location.

Fascinating.

I've been paying attention lately to one of our cats whisker "array".
Hopefully I'll be able to get a picture from a good angle and in good lighting/background.
Array is absolutely the appropriate word, as it looks (and functions, albeit in a rudimentary way) like an antenna array on a WWII night fighter plane.
The ears also function much like a radar antenna receiver, including the fine hair in the area directly in front of them.
The ability to aim them is also very cool.


I was wondering if anyone was gonna bring up mountain lion attacks.
They do happen.
Imagine a cat the size of a rottweiler.

I would actually not count myself out vs the rott, but a cougar/panther/Mt Lion- only luck or the cat's whim.

My plan for any dog attack (and a similar technique has worked when I was a child) without a weapon, if it comes down to them or me-
Offer the left forearm, top surface to the back of the mouth and keep pressure, then with the right hand, try to pick up, preferably by the genitals or rear leg, and then slam down on any available protruding surface, either on the head or spine if possible.

With a same size cat, you couldn't get that close.
