But the mum-of-three from Vancouver, Canada, was breastfeeding her four-month-old daughter Willow at the time, wearing only her underwear.
The family had already "lost three chickens in the last week" and suspected a hawk was to blame for the crime spree.
So when she heard another pet goose Sebastopol honking hysterically on the front porch, Cait raced into action.

Quick-thinking Cait refused to lose another member of her flock and ran to the goose's aid while clutching the baby to her chest.
The hilarious clip then shows the mum screaming at the eagle to drop Frankie while chasing it up her property, all while little Willow remained latched on.
Cait explained: "I was in the middle of feeding her, so that’s why I didn’t have a shirt on and was kind of getting ready for the evening.
"I just ran outside and when [my husband] Mike came out he was like, ‘you’re topless.’
