had a semi-stray cat that could make a six foot vertical leap and catch a sparrow in it’s mouth. he would do this several times a day. these things are apex predators
I once watched my cat do that to some sparrows that were chilling on top of a six foot stone wall. Motherfucker ran all the way up it, then used the last of his momentum to dive down onto a bird, biting down on it’s neck in one swift motion before bringing it back down with him as he fell. I swear it looked more like a shark attack than any mammal hunting style. I love cats but holy shit they really are nature’s perfect killing machines. Little xenomorphs, one and all
these things are apex predators
Gonna be that guy here. No, they aren’t. Not small cats, anyway.

Feral cats are prey of feral dogs, dingoes, coyotes, caracals[54] and birds of prey.[9]
Doesn’t this just mean they have no natural predators? I’ve always heard that cats were considered apex.
