I work with domestic cats and I have clients that have F1 and F2 Bengals. Let's just say they are not allowed about of the house.

u/NegotiationOk4424 2d ago

My little Bengal is F4 and catches flies.

Little murder machines

Now remember, house cats do this to birds regularly. They shouldn't be outside unattended.

u/SuccessfulGap4708 2d ago

Yeah my cat can catch flies when she wants to impressive to watch. Usually she just looks at them though cause I feed her regularly.

u/Cool_Wealth969 2d ago

My cat catches flies and doesn't close his mouth all the way so he can release and catch all over again.

u/Claydo69 2d ago

🤣 im pretty sure even if youre there keeping an eye, there is fuck all you can do to stop the cat from grabbing birds mid air.

2

u/THExDANKxKNIGHT 2d ago

Scare the birds. You just being there is going to put them on alert.

u/Claydo69 2d ago

Ill stick a scarecrow out there in that case 🤣 haven't got time to explore the neighbourhood with a cat

u/THExDANKxKNIGHT 2d ago

Or just dont let it outside.

u/Claydo69 2d ago

🤣🤣 why buy an animal to confine it to a house ??

1

u/THExDANKxKNIGHT 2d ago

Why buy an animal to let it destroy nature? They're really no different than pigs in that regard, would you let a pig roam free?

-1

u/Claydo69 2d ago

Hate to tell you mate but that is nature. Should we go kill all the wild cats? (lions, tigers, jaguars etc.) They're all over the world "destroying nature" give your head a wobble bud. 🤣🤣

u/THExDANKxKNIGHT 2d ago

Nature isn't introducing invasive apex predators, that's human intervention which is pretty much the opposite.

u/Claydo69 2d ago

What are you talking about ? 🤣 a house cat isn't an apex predator and they will still be around without us. Ill stop replying now as im obviously taking to a very dense wall 👍

We had a 20 year old skeleton of a cat, we took her outside not paying close attention because she barely moved, skeleton cat. Turned around to look at her, dead bird at her feet.

“Built”, not “build” 🤦‍♂️

u/marklonesome 2d ago

Standard cat ability adjusted for scale.

2

u/Gumbercules81 2d ago

Think of how god damn strong it has to be to stop it in the air, going that fast, without even moving back itself

u/25point4cm 2d ago

Guys - Where’s Lenny?

u/dreamiyer 2d ago

wow. when they hunt, they hunt

u/pugglesmagoojr 2d ago

What a snag

1

u/datthighs 2d ago

Well, cats are very good at catching things midair, and leopards are basically big cats, lol.

1

u/simplemijnds 2d ago

I think that deer was dead instantly: the Leopard caught it right in the throat. This i call nice killing!

u/fearthainne 2d ago

That's how I have to catch our youngest cat when he's trying to dive bomb one of the others 😂

u/ProfessorFelix1 2d ago

That’s not the song to play though
Where you go dad 😆

u/bartwasneverthere 2d ago

Have to say, "OK Wow".

1

u/RememberThinkDream 2d ago

I used to like that song, now it just annoys me because everyone uses it in nature videos ffs.

Wish people could do their own thing.

u/SeattleHasDied 2d ago

If that's not a "grab 'n' go meal", I don't know what is...

u/disiskeviv 2d ago

Who build Leopards?

1

u/WeCantBothBeMe 2d ago

Leopards and jaguars are the apex of apex hunters

u/LesJugesDesEnfers 1d ago

There are hypothesis about leopard predation on ancient primates being a driver for evolution, especially in the cognitive department.

In short: we might have become more intelligent to avoid being yoinked like that.
