meat like : small animals

Answer 2

Cats are very graceful animals. They can walk through a bed of leaves without making a sound. The natural coloration for a cat, which is tabby (silver with black and brown stripes) blend in very well with the background. They can sneak through a forest unseen and unheard.

When prey is spotted, the cat moves slowly and silently towards it, until she is close enough to pounce. Then, she springs at it in an attempt to catch it. If she succeeds, she holds it with her claws and swiftly, humanely kills it.

Today's domestic cats aren't taught to hunt by their mothers, since food is always available. They have the instinct to hunt, but without their mother's training, they don't know to kill, which is why our cats "play" with their prey instead of finishing it off and eating it.

Answer 3

Cats have specialized skills for hunting small rodents, like rats and mice. However, these skills are adaptable to rabbits, which are as large as themselves, or for catching birds, which are much more challenging.

Cats are even known to flip fish from the water and capture them on shore. They are averse to actually plunging their heads underwater, as bears do, but some wild cats are able to swim and eat fish as an important part of their diet.
