After 10 minutes of crouching down and stealthily walking towards the woods, she just sat up and started cleaning herself, like "Yep, that's all I came out here for. Hunting something? No, not me. Just walked over here to lick my paws, yep, that's all." Not long ago I saw a study reporting that feral cats (and I presume tame ones) catch their prey every third pounce. Just imagine, only three leaps away from a snack (lizard, bird, frog, grasshopper, mouse, mole, moth, baby anything, and thousands of specific prey - not including opossums). On a hot August day a few years ago I was sitting upstairs when I glance out into the hall and saw Nipsy and Espy sitting in the hallway looking at something between them and I couldn't tell what it was but it wasn't a bird. The backdoor was open and they were free to come and go so whatever it was had just been carried in. Turns out it was a baby possum - some mother possum had held a graduation and the kids were scattering in the backyards. I thought it was dead but picked it up with a paper towel and it moved! So I took it downstairs and put it through the chain link fence (so it was still a very small possum) into my neighbor's groundcover. |
