Best Answer

Yes, in fact in Arizona some residents place short fences along the length of their property to discourage hedgehogs from entering and attacking their feline loved ones. Hedgehogs, like possums, are known for the rivalry created between themselves and cats, and will attack a cat for no apparent reason. Don't know if it's still on YouTube but, there was a video called "Simon vs. The Hedgehog" where a hedgehog and a cat fight to the death. Gruesome video, but long story short, the cat wins.
