This lady lives in alaska and has bald eagles frequently visiting her and her cats!!!
That’s incredible, though I can’t help feeling a little nervous for the cat… Love the arctic fox! 🙂
That eagle was just too cool for everyone else…

We lived in Alaska and were constantly around eagles. In this instance, there is a constant of thier FAVORIGHT food source. Bald Eagles are predominantly fish eaters. While they go after other animals, like ducks and rabbits, fish are a major part of thier diet…as well as carcase. The bald eagles are interesting in that when they have a constant food supply, they are less aggressive with each other and in this case, the other local wild life. We had cat’s when we lived in the mountians and nothing every happened to them.
This is a fishing town, so the Eagles are very content.As Koishii said, Bald eagles are powerful but they are much happier to scavenge food than actively hunt, and being a fish eagle they will take fish when available over other prey. Why work harder for less food, says the eagle? 😉 That said, in one of those videos the cat and owner is taking a big risk as the cat tries to approach the feeding eagle. Eagles don’t take lightly to trespass when they’re eating!
Even though they are smaller than a bald eagle, cats and other small critters have a lot more to worry about from a hungry and determined hawk.
