RE: Cat Playing With An Actual Dead Mouse

in #cats7 years ago

Now you're applying human standards to an animal. There is a function to cats playing with their prey. That is mostly likely minimizing the risk of counterattack during the kill. Cats kill their small animal prey by biting the neck. That puts a cats eyes close to the prey. It makes sense to make the prey too fazed and tired to fight back.

Sort:  

it makes sense I suppose, but It isn't strange that we can't put ourselves on the levels of nature, sometimes it seems cruel but this is the survival of the strong I guess.
