Meh!

This Summer I'm sitting on my back deck - probably sipping a fine wine - when there's a skirmish in the neighbour's yard next door. Not unusual given that I have two excellent hunter feline's in my household that keep the hood pretty much denuded of wildlife.

So I yell out "Charlie!" "Tuvok!" "what are you up to!?"

Moments later Charlie, my Maine Coon (Google it - I swear that's his photo!), leaps to the top of the 6' fence between our yards, with a rabbit in his mouth that's at least as big as he is (and he's pretty big.) He then jumps down, finishes it off, and then guts and fillets it - consuming all the best bits.

Bottom line: never underestimated the hunting / killing potential of a cat. Household. Wild. Matters not. Pound for pound they're amazing killing machines.

ps. And both my cats were declawed at 6 months!
 
What's amazing is that the croc couldn't fight off even in the water (its own stomping ground).

The crocodile was already dead or incapacitated by that point. He went limp pretty quickly after the jaguar sunk his teeth into his head.

I wondered that too; Huey's answer makes sense. That croc sure made a curious "death squeak"... :?

I had a "friendly disagreement" with some *sshole ( :mrgreen: ) on another forum regarding which would win in a battle between a housecat and a raptor. I started searching EweTube for a video that proved I was right; there were no battles ever filmed, but several "confrontations" where the two bluffed each other but never tangled. It'd be interesting to know...

You would have to borrow the simulation program they use on http://www.spike.com/shows/deadliest-warrior
They did a few episodes on different animals facing off each other. One was lion vs tiger, the other was gorilla vs jaguar.
 
A housecat vs. this???

My money is on the 4,000 plus pound 4x4 :angelic-green:
 
Had to watch it twice. I've watched a few doc on big cats where the jag is mentioned being able to take down a adult croc. I'd never seen it until this link. Wow!


I agree Jeff. Cats are amazing killing machines. What's even scarier is the house cat is the only feline that will kill for sport.
 
I also thought all cats avoided the water, except for tigers.

My wife and I had a cat in the 80's that was quite a good swimmer - and didn't mind it at all. We'd take her to a very secluded sand beach where the water ran very shallow for a long ways out and she'd follow us in and play fetch. (A ball of tin foil was her favourite.) Mind you we could also take her for walks (no leash) through the fields around our apartment at the time. She was a shorthair of mixed breed - with Siamese/Tonkinese traits being clearly visible. Her name was Nutmeg - which suited her colouring very well. A very strong cat with amazing leaping ability. Perfect with kids. Unfortunately she loved to hunt far and wide and one day we got a call from a friend who thought he'd seen her blocks from our place, lying on the main (busy) city road. It was her. She looked like she'd been struck only once and had clearly died instantly. We buried her in the back garden.
