THE WILD — Have you ever faced a situation that felt larger than life?
Maybe it was life just getting you down or perhaps you had too much to handle all on your own, or you were going up against a rival who was about 10 times your size. Whatever it was, I’m here to tell you that you’ve got this. Whatever larger-than-life problem you have right now, you can handle it. And I know that because I watched this video.
In a true David vs. Goliath scenario, the video shows Baggy the tiny house cat fearlessly facing down a lion. Baggy wastes no time hesitating or being scared — she just runs right at the lion, cleverly scoping out her territory in the process.

Have You Seen This? The friendliest car horn
Mark Rober, former NASA engineer and current YouTuber, said the standard car horn options aren’t enough. He thinks cars should have a way to give a “courtesy honk” that politely informs drivers of something other than an emergency.True, there are safety measures in place (like a fence separating the lion from the cat) but that doesn’t change the fact that this little house cat is probably braver than all of us.
Baggy’s owner, BigCatDerek, wrote in the video’s description that his cat has always been tough, but even he was surprised when she chased after the lion this way.
“Baggy the housemeow has always been a tough, little cookie, but I never thought she was this degree of crazy. All is well, everything settled, and her and Noey (the lion) are back on speaking terms,” he wrote.
Baggy, you’re an inspiration to us all. Whether it’s charging at life’s problems head-on or making friends with former enemies, we could all learn a few lessons from your resilience and bravery.
