I spent most of the day cleaning up the back yard.
Then, we ran into this guy trying to escape the yard in the evening.
Our cat was trying to hunt it like she would actually win. She is quite the mouser/bird destroyer but to think you would have any chance against a porcupine is just crazy, even for a psychopath cat.
Once the porcupine untangled himself and managed to fit through the fence and disappear into the hayfield, the cat went right in after him. Luckily, she never found him and he escaped out the other side where @landonator saw him with his hawk eyes making his way down the next farm field.
Afterwards, I was sort of wondering how, or why, he ventured into the back yard like that. I'm sure there was enough of the smell of the two labs, plus the only way in is through the tiny squares of the cattle fence to squeeze through; the same way he got out in the video. Why would he force his way in like that?
The funny thing about this guy is he didn't seem to have a care in the world. I mean, I probably wouldn't either if I was a porcupine. There isn't too much that would be messing with him; except maybe a car. Other that that, what would be able to successfully attack one? Just the way he walked away was like he didn't give a fuck about anything going on around him. He got bored and headed on to find something more interesting I guess.
