There was a story on the web and on the local news last year about a guard cat, so obviously...they can be as good as dogs at that kind of thing.
The unique thing about this cat: She was rescued from the pound, found as a stray, her eyes were so infected they had to be removed. She was an adult when her family took her in. Apparently when the burgler broke into the house in the middle of the night, she actually attacked him! The family heard the growl and other rukus and came down to find the window broken and blood everywhere, including on their cat. Luckily none of the blood belonged to the cat....and they found the burgler whose face, neck and shoulders had been superfically - but thoroughly shredded. The cat won a neighborhood watch award. I can't remember her name or the actual city tho....the cat was a little tortie who was missing both eyes.

Very good idea to alert all the neighbors; if the individual is prowling the neighborhood frequently, he will eventually be caught since people will be looking for him.

Yes, we called the police and they came out this morning and looked our place over, but there's not much they can do. My husband wanted to go out and catch the guy but I told him if the guy had a gun, that wouldn't be too smart. The police came out twice for my neighbor too, but said the same thing. I am going to notify all my neighbors this afternoon to be on the lookout.

I didn't bother to look out the window. Pepper usually does that on a lower window if she sees another cat, but this time, the window was up high. The next thing I know, my husband walked in and said "Were you just outside?" and I said "no, why?". He said, "Are you sure you weren't just outside?" and I said "no". He said that someone was sneaking past the bathroom window, which is frosted, towards the dining area windows. He thought it was me playing a trick on him, so he tapped on the window, and whoever it was, ran off. That's when he came to see if it was me. We live in a quiet neighborhood, but my neighbor down the street said that he's had to replace PVC pipe for

The pipe is right in front of his daughter's window and when he repaired it the second time, he noticed that there was a crack in her blinds where someone could see in. So I guess we have a pervert hanging around, or living in, our neighborhood
