Ever since he was adopted by his human family nearly six years ago, Mugsy had no choice but to live among alligators. Since it really can't stand these animals – especially when they try to take its food – Mugsy tackles them paws on and forces them back into the water.

The first time they saw this happen, Mugsy's owners feared that the cat was about to meet its end. However, they now know that this relatively small fighter is well in control of the situation, and that odds are that nothing bad will happen to it.

Besides wrestling alligators, Mugsy enjoys spending time with the tourists who come to visit these swamps.

As was to be expected, Mugsy's talents made it quite popular amongst local people, and now the cat even made it all the way to national television.
