A North Vancouver house cat named Tigger is making headlines for winning a face off with a black bear much larger than him.
A North Vancouver house cat named Tigger is making TikTok headlines for winning a face-off with a black bear much larger than him.
Gavin and Cameron Sturrock are rarely fazed by their two-year-old Bengal cat’s behaviour.
Tigger is known for deterring dogs in their Canyon Heights neighbourhood, sparring with his feline brother Taz — even stealing chicken from the family’s kitchen.
But on June 21, Tigger shocked the Sturrock brothers.
“Literally, I was just frozen,” recalled Cameron Friday.
Gavin said he was carrying two boxes of Nerf guns and guards out of the house in preparation for a Nerf war camping trip when he got caught in a battle on his driveway.
A large black bear he’d seen before had returned.
“I didn’t notice right away, but my little cat was just like – he was right here,” said Gavin.
