How have they not died out through starvation?
I've just been watching Billy lining up to kill some fluff. First he finds a vantage point, positioning ears to front facing full alert. Secondly he lowers his head and raises his bum. Thirdly he wiggles his bum whilst sort of running on the spot with his back legs.
Then he decides his vantage isn't quite right and finds another chair leg to start the first section of the maneuver again.

Eventually he launches and pats the fluff on his way past it only to end up in the bedroom kicking himself in the chin.



How can this actually work when hunting in the wild? Unless the prey falls down dead laughing at him I strongly suspect he would have zero success and never eat a thing.

:hihi::hihi::hihi:They are funny aren't they. My lil boy is so heavy footed he always scares everything off before he catches it (usually flies:gag:) tho on a good day, he can catch one with one paw. Show off!
I love to watch cat do the wiggle and launch tho, made me giggle reading that post mojo1!!

The ear motion makes me laugh as well my cat Sadie-sue puts her ears almost flat down to her head to make her more streamlined i think. :hihi:

Cats are just Fab :love:

Ted gets just her right foot and does a sort of stampede as if she's in a Western kicking her foot in the dust behind her a number of times. They both do the wiggle bum. Even at the age of nearly 13, Basil can still do a Jam jump into the air to catch something, it's just she needs a lay down for a few hours afterwards from all the exertion!
