Just wondering if these pictures were a joke or not? Looking at them they seem/look to be real to me anyways. I had a buddy of mine send me these over e-mail, but we have no idea where they are from except a person in California. Found them very interesting, so I thought I would share.

Pictures do look real – bummer no story to go with them 
Anybody notice the dogs sitting in the background of the 3rd pic? I think that horse is giving a tutorial on the many ways to skin a cat. 
Being that those dogs are “cat dogs” used specifically for cat hunting, I would have to say the pictures are real. Horeses, espeically mules can get a bit testy towards cats. It wouldn’t be the first time to see a mule go ape crazy on a smaller, threatening animal……
Cool pics!!!!!!!!!
I love good photoshop work especially if they remember the kitty might make a shadow too. Cougars are hot on internet right know as well as an elk that can change into a blacktail with a cougar standing behind him.
Photoshop!!!!!!That is why I asked the question, but if you look at the horses positioning and the cat trying to bite the horse you cann’t do that on photoshop. I am still going with the pictures being real. I know what you are saying though.
I have to agree they are cool.. 
They look legit to me! I see shadows where I should, and I could imagine a mule getting after a cat like that. 
I can tell you this much, I wouldn’t want my arse anywhere near that saddle when this started going down. This animal appears to have quite a bit of mule in him/her. It’s very common for western ranchers to keep mules with sheep herds to keep predators from attacking the flocks. Mules will run down a coyote/kitty and stomp them to death. They say a kick from a mule is way worse than any horse. Either way, cool pics. Way to go Jackass!!!!
I can tell you this much, some horses don’t like the smell of elk or elk blood. I almost got the chance to see how much of a cowboy I was on my elk hunt. Luckily I got off my pony before he decided to blow.
Fowler……..
I’m still laughing…………
Looks like a nice job of photo editing to me guys.
I work constantly in Photoshop, and there isn’t much I can’t do with that program. I would be VERY surprised if those pics are ‘doctored.’ The lighting is right on all of them. To get two different animals from two different pics, with the same lighting AND proper positioning……highly doubtful.
Looks like a green sunfish to me 
Definitely a Green Sunfish…. 
Looks to me like the cat is already dead and the mule is getting in a few last comments on his opinion of cats.
Mulie is just giving the cat something to remember him by I think…
No one but the photographer really knows and the thing that always gets me is…… how does a person capture a moment like that…….. so closely? But that is the only improbability I can see here.
These animals will behave this way. So it’s possible this is real. The kitty does leave shadows where it should. The first pic….. even the donkeys shadow is a bit different but causes the kitty shadow to be beyond the margins. I think there was a time delay and the donkey did indeed return to cap off it’s displeasantries…. thus the change in shadow positions and even the presence of the dogs. I don’t believe the average dog will just sit there and stare amidst real action. But they will observe one-sided activity. Typically, they’re on their feet during “questionable events”.
And Fleck is pretty talented with a pc. If he tells me he couldn’t do that with photoshop, I tend to believe it’d take a rare individual to pull it off.
I’m willing to be wrong…. but until someone proves it….. I’m voting for authenticity.
Gr–e–e -n Sun– –fish!!
Man I love these pics!!!TTT
