Felines are excellent hunters. They have their own tactics: first, the cat tries to be invisible, minimizing the distance to the target as much as possible, being invisible, and then suddenly runs out of cover. But this is too short a description, then it is worth considering the process of cat hunting in more detail.
First comes the preparatory stage. After finding a prey, the predator begins to creep up to it slowly and carefully, using all sorts of shelters like tall grass, stones, trees and other things. Then the cat quickly slides forward, pressing its belly to the ground, and freezes. Small dashes alternate with stops. Thus, the animal gradually approaches its prey, not taking its eyes off it for a second.
Having approached the victim and hiding in ambush, the cat prepares for the attack, fiddling with its hind legs and closely watching the prey. At the same time, the tip of her tail periodically twitches from side to side.
Next comes the final spurt. Leaving its shelter, the predator jumps forward with lightning speed, continuing to cling to the ground. Raising its front paws, the animal jumps on an unsuspecting victim.
The loot is captured. Further, the cat, resting its hind legs on the ground, presses its prey to the ground and turns so that it is more convenient to bite into the throat of its prey. If the prey resists, the predator can release it, and then jump on it again to grab it more comfortably, or lie on the god and connect its hind legs, making powerful blows with them. If the fatal bite has not yet followed, it does not keep itself waiting long.
If the cat is not hungry, it can play with its prey for a while until it gets bored. This is how cats catch mice and other small rodents.
