Guard Deer!

Some people around here get mules to guard their horses against wolves, but the Fagan's have a guard deer to ward off the unwanted cats.
This was a real hoot! This young deer couldn't quite figure out the cats. His tail would go up, and he would walk towards them planting his front feet very firmly with every step.
This went on for about half and hour. Fortunately for you, the videographer and her shaky hands didn't film for that long! Excuse the flaws.

Pretty cute! I wonder if the deer thought that the cat was a skunk...What finally happened? Did the deer tire of the whole thing and simply walk off? Or did he just run off?

The deer did tire of the whole affair. The other two cats in the distance had to be "shooed" off by an irate property owner - LOL.
The picture is of the deer as it wandered around the house. I think it's a two year old that was one of twins a couple summers ago.

Love the deer. Not your cats?
