STARTLED OWL PUFFS UP TO APPEAR BIGGER THAN PET CAT

A frightened owl used a defensive posture technique, fluffing its feathers to appear much larger, to intimidate a family cat in a Belgian backyard. The alarmed cat also pouted at the sight of the Strigida stranger, leading to a confrontation between the two. 

"We looked outside and saw our cat in our garden in front of an owl. It was so amazing that I recorded this scene. When I decided to go outside to get a better look, the owl flew away.”
