      Saw one cat chatter and attract some birds near, though they don't see him for the position he's already at. Then he prepared like that for 2-3sec, then....
      A cat of length around 1ft took a long jump of about 8ft from that steady position and took one bird away with just one wrath of its paw.
      The way they hunt is absolute artistic.

      It took my cat 15 years to fully trust me, partly due to the fact that I was 4 years old when we got her and I was not very good with cats. After that is was quite obvious I was her favorite all the way until she died.

    • @MysteriousAsteria
      @MysteriousAsteria 7 років тому +65

      People base that prejudice on their own experiences with mostly strange cats they don't own. Cats have very distinctive and different personalities and most cats are a bit shy towards strangers or they simple come close to them after you offered them a treat, hence they appear cold and egoistical.
      Of course there are exceptions, like the cat of my cousin used to be; he was very cuddly, friendly and devoted to everyone, even complete strangers. People however automatically assumed that this was not normal cat behavior and called him dog-like.
      I think people can really understand that cats love their owners just as much as dogs after they have owned a nice, friendly cat themselves. My own little fluffball is certainly very clingey to me and loves me infinitely- I was once on a trip for a week and that poor baby was so sad about my absence that he barely ate his food and always slept on my bed, eagerly waiting for my return. Of course that makes it hard now for me to leave the hose for a longer period, but then I knew from the beginning that owning a cat takes as much responsibility as owning any other animal.
      Also I don't get the cat vs. dog mentality. I own a cat, love cats, but I also adore dogs. I def. prefer the former, but dogs are nice too. They're just a bit different :)

      It's the breed. Bigger breed cats have longer whiskers as kittens. But, if you overfeed your cat and he becomes obese, the whiskers don't automatically grow longer. This is why fat cats are always getting stuck in small spaces. Their whiskers are saying yea, this nook will do nicely, go on in but their belly rolls say

In UK, we have hundreds of one-man-band film-makers who have the patience and skill to get the 'killer shot' which reveals what is actually happening, often months of painstaking work, and then they sell their work to the BBC, or are hired by the job to get that shot. They do really great protography and film, just like this. The American networks can't touch it, and if an American filmmaker really wants to reveal and study animal behaviour seriously rather than just scare people with how sharp their claws or teeth are, he offers his efforts to the BBC.
