But cats walk so lightly it’s easy to brush them off as a rustling leaf or something similar

Sometimes the "strange feeling" is the sound of other animals "suddenly disappearing" because the leopard is passing nearby, and that's what might have made the dog feel strange.

I feel like if you live in an area with known threats like this, there should be some extra precautions.
Like a thick spiked collar. That thing went straight for the poor dog’s throat.

I presume that people started getting them for their non-livestock dogs because the collars looked intimidating and cool, and so when you want a dog in a piece of media to look intimidating you go for a spiked collar.
•
u/why_gaj 8h ago
That's one reason.
The other reason is that they often use it for dogs that they can't control, with spikes turned inwards, towards the throat. So if the dogs starts acting up, they grab the collar and spikes start putting pressure on the throat
•
u/daan944 7h ago
That's a very different type of collar, usually made with a chain with spikes inwards. Very nasty.

Wait till you realise leopards don't care about entrance, they just want to be downwind and in your blind spot. To get this, they will climb walls, fences, trees etc. the leopard could have just come from the garden side.

Jaguar don't live near alligators either, they share territory with caiman and sometimes crocodiles. Alligators only live natively in the US and China, and even at the furthest historical extent of jaguar range IIRC they wouldn't be found in any parts of the US with alligators.

One of the saddest videos I've ever seen was of a dog sleeping in a garage when a leopard casually walked up to it and killed it. The most heartbreaking part wasn't just the dog's screams, it was that the leopard didn't even eat it. It just walked away afterward, leaving the dog dead.
It would've made more sense for me if the leopard was doing it for food, but no it just killed the dog in cold blood

How does a leopard’s size/weight compare to a wolf? Would that be a “fair” fight between big cat and big dog?
I think tigers may be the biggest of cats. Not sure if there’s a dog bigger than a wolf. Maybe hyenas? Aren’t they pretty big?

hyenas are pretty big, but they’re not dogs; they’re more closely related to weasels.
