This Bengal Cat’s Idea of Home Security Will Have You Rethinking Your Alarm System
One of the perks pet parents often find with a new furry or feline friend is the added protection they provide. Along with being a great companion, pets can deter potential thieves, since they can usually create enough chaos to get everyone’s attention. Other pets take a more direct approach and attack assailants before they can get far.
Unfortunately for this family, they have Ringo instead. While he’s undeniably the cutest pet around, Ringo the Munchkin Bengal cat isn’t the most ferocious feline. As his humans noted, it looks like Ringo might need a bodyguard instead, because there’s no way he’s going to attack any potential robbers.

“That’s Called a Dragon Ninja Reflex Move—It’s Deadly on Intruders.”
Showcasing their “first line of defense” if someone breaks into their home, Ringo’s humans have made it clear they will definitely need to invest in a new security system.
Walking down the hall, Ringo wasn’t expecting a surprise on his daily patrol. The culprit? An empty dog bowl and a picture frame sitting on the floor. Startled by their presence, Ringo let out a small yelp that told us he was definitely not on alert.
Our favorite part of the video is that Ringo doesn’t just get startled by these common household items—he actually glances at them before walking right by, completely unbothered a second later.
Nonetheless, it’s safe to say that Ringo is just not cut out to be a security cat, and that’s OK. At least he has Mango, his Ragdoll sister, by his side. Unlike Ringo, Mango is always ready to attack, even without provocation.

In the comments, users couldn’t help but try to boost Ringo’s ego with some encouraging words.
“That’s called a dragon ninja reflex move – it’s deadly on intruders,” one person said.
Another commented, “He is not your first line of defense against intruders. He is the intruders’ last line of defense before Mango.” A fact we can’t help but admit is true.
“I fear the thief will decide to take Ringo instead of any jewels or money,” a third person added.
Although Ringo might not be cut out for a life of danger, at least he has his sister to defend him from any potential robbers.
