If you would extend it to humans, most people wouldn't be able to eat a potato
Mine can take down small rodents and birds as well. So chicken and since fish aren't off the menu. Turkey? Hell naw
Idk man turkeys are pretty fuckin dumb and have very small necks? Maybe an unsuspecting turkey? Cats are pretty good hunters, or wild ones are at least. Fatass indoor cats would def lose lol
Domestic turkeys are dumb. Wild turkeys are clever, attentive and fast when they want to be.
you've, uh, never seen a wild turkey have you
Saw one in the road here once and it was freaking huuuuge!
So here's my headcanon of why the birds are fucking with the intersections around the towns here
I'm not sure when we got turkeys, whether they're native or invasive, but we've had turkeys here for at least 25 years. Huge fuckers. Everyone took the chrome offa their cars because the turkeys would come peck it at stoplights. They showed up about the same time that fucker a few towns over who got peafowl so people would think he was rich? His peafowl ran away, fucked, and infested the town the dude lived in so now everyone has peafowl. So now everyone knows this one dude isn't rich enough to keep his peacock in his yard. Anyways around that same time the turkey's showed up so like, I feel like it was some farmer making fun of the rich dude at first and he bought turkeys to live in his yard instead of peafowl because that just how you do around here and they both lost them at the same time.
Those fuckers.
Stray cats are actually a recognized threat against the wild turkey population. It was one of the things they actually mentioned last time they did a big catch and spay drive near me.
You think you could bring down a cow?
No it would break me
If I spent my youthful days running around the open fields slinging a spear around... I just might bring down a cow (water buffalo or something similar) here and there. It's not beyond reason.
If pet owners let cats grow to full size, instead of keeping them cooped up indoors they could claim the same.
smh.
I've taken deer and feral hogs, a cow would be no challenge at all.
Nor a 200kgs tuna... But hey
Ok, first off, a lion…swimming in the ocean? Lions don’t even like water. If you placed it near a river, or some sort of fresh water source, that’d make sense. But you find yourself in the ocean, a 20 ft wave, I’m assuming it’s off the coast of South Africa, coming up against a full grown, 800 lb tuna with his 20 or 30 friends. You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what, you wandered into our school of tuna and we now have a taste of blood! We’ve talked to ourselves. We’ve communicated and said, “you know what? Lion tastes good. Let's go get some more lion.” We’ve developed a system, to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your, your pride, your children, your offspring…”
How ya gonna do that?
We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. It's not going to be days at a time, an hour, hour 45. No problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You are out gunned and outmanned.
Do you think she could drag a Tuna out of the ocean?
My black cat could take down a fisherman who was carrying a tuna, I feel like this counts.
That's some "campfire cooking in another world" type of stunt. Sylvia would dump it at the beach door and demand you butcher and grill it.
But Sylvia could scavenge a cow some other animal hunted and left. So...
This is literally what house cats do. Humans ‘hunt’ and leave the food for them. House cats are scavengers.
My cats absolutely love kangaroo and elk lol
