Cats can be territorial and playful at the same time. They might not like other animals in the area where they consider as their own turf. It can be another cat, or even an alligator in this case. Sometimes they might just love to mess with other animals for fun.
In the first video I believe the alligator might also be intimidated by the presence of humans. On at least one occasion, the guy in shorts walked closer which might have caused the alligator to flee. Nonetheless, the cat is extremely "brave". I have seen the scene of a crocodile dragging a full grown leopard into the water on Animal Planet. I'd be very nervous if I am the cat owner.
For more vicious cats!
Cat vs Tiger
Ok, that was a joke.
Nonetheless you can still see how vicious the cat was.
Now for real.
Cat vs Cobra
Once again, I'd be very nervous if that was my cat. They seem to have no fear, or rather they have no idea what they got themselves into.
I also can't help noticing how gorgeous the corbra is. I am sure Fishbone will agree with me.
Cat vs bear
This is a story from 2006. A cat forced a bear onto a tree not once, but twice! The bear only escaped after the cat owner recalled the cat. It took place in the cat owner's backyard. Go figure, it is territorial behavior at work.
