This curious Alaskan black bear was not prepared to encounter the home's guard cat.

Nani the house cat is no scaredy-cat! After a tense standoff in rural Alaska, the cat pounces at the large beast trying to invade her home. The tiny cat sends the 200lbs bear flying backwards in fear right off the home's deck.

My house cats have never encountered a bear before, but I will say they are very brave on the safe side of the window.
