Don’t mess with Max the cat!
The brave feline, who lives in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park, is being praised for his fearlessness after he fought off a trio of vicious coyotes that were trying to attack him in his own backyard.
The harrowing incident unfolded last Wednesday night when Max’s owner Maya Gurrin and her husband were watching a movie and noticed “a shadow of a tail” outside of their home, Gurrintold CBS Los Angeles.
“[They] were completely surrounding him,” Gurrin explained to the news outlet, adding that she then quickly shooed the wild animals away.
However, when Gurrin went back inside to view her security footage she saw that Max had been involved in a standoff with the coyotes long before she intervened.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Gurrin told CBS Los Angeles. “We’re still shocked.”
“He’s always been crazy. If this were to happen to any cat, it would be him,” Gurrin told CBS Los Angeles.
“You don’t see videos like that,” Gurrin told CBS Los Angeles. “You see them getting eaten. It could have been so different. We’re so lucky.”
