This is selective evidence.
And an unusually determined turtle. (That bowl-crossing is epic, never mind taking on TWO cats. Must be some special lettuce being threatened.)
That is the most awesome turtle I’ve ever seen. I’ve never really been a cat person, but I felt sorry for those poor cats, that turtle was not having any of them.
I still think I agree with Crommunist; Otters are the best.
Thanks for sharing that bit of cat abuse from an asshole tortoise. Just because you are unwilling to deal with the natural superiority of cats is no excuse for being hateful.
Name's Jason Thibeault. I'm an IT guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS, science of all stripes (especially space-related stuff), and debating on-line and off. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though.

Not detailed enough to allow for proper stalking? Please read my Hello Freethought Blogs post. I promise* it will include my favorite style of underwear.

Heh. My wife once watched a *preying mantis* face down her two cats. Domestic moggies aren’t necessarily brave, adventuresome creatures.

I’m a bit disappointed
I expected the cat to close the door and lock the cats out

Somehow I think they may have started out with four cats but two were just slower than the others.

A Turtle in the Manger!
Quite surprising to see such an aggressive turtle. Did it think all those cat food bowls belonged to it?

Was that the turtle from Crimewave who said, “I’m captain of this elevator, and we’re stopping at every floor!“

Of course, up here in Canada, we don’t see these battles between cats and reptiles:

Oh yeah? I’ll see your Cat-Chasing Turtle, and raise you a Kitten Riding a Tortoise.

Maybe we just need more turtles in the Atheist movement…
