And there's just dumb luck <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.catchannel.com/Skins/Cat Channel/Images/EmotIcons/BigGrin.gif" border="0" title="BigGrin">Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:30:48 GMTPeaLoki&Gabehttp://board.catchannel.com/Topic36652-23-1.aspxA non hungry hunter is the most deadly. It can take all the time it needs to stalk the prey. That's why domestic well-feed cats are the most deadly ones.Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:36:52 GMTMaria3http://board.catchannel.com/Topic36652-23-1.aspxyes it included all of the big cats. I think they used a ratio to determine their rankings, successful kills to hunting attempts. I think tiger was #3 and lion was #2 (Which I think is totally unfair since lions are a group predator, and tigers are solitary). </P><P>Obviously they never met my Loki, he's good at stalking but just doesn't have the killer instinct; if he ever did kill something he'd probably put it infront of the stove and expect me to cook it for him... he won't eat anything raw (he's very odd). Not sure if its a monkey see monkey do- I won't eat it raw, so he doesn't think he should either.Tue, 22 Jul 2008 10:16:08 GMTPeaLoki&Gabehttp://board.catchannel.com/Topic36652-23-1.aspxYeah, I saw that episode. I thought it was interesting. They must have meant how deadly the animal is to it's natural prey though, because I'm sure a tiger could kill me a lot more easily than my little Pharaoh could!Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:59:43 GMTvettechgirlhttp://board.catchannel.com/Topic36652-23-1.aspxDidn't see it -- that is interesting! Did it include lions, tigers -- wild cats that have to hunt to live?</P><P>My cats are always bringing me "presents" -- but they have a friend groundhog they play with in the yard everyday. Rusty and the groundhog chase each other with a game of tag.</P><P><img onload = "resizeThis(this)" style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="" src="http://www.catchannel.com/images/uploads/213254.jpg">Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:35:05 GMTSuperCathttp://board.catchannel.com/Topic36652-23-1.aspxThe #1 most deadly feline species are the ones we keep in our homes. The domestic cat is the deadliest feline. <img align="absmiddle" src="http://board.catchannel.com/Skins/Cat Channel/Images/EmotIcons/Cool.gif" border="0" title="Cool"> They rated the most deadly by the average of successful kills/ to hunts. Amazingly they said they found no correlation to a cat wearing a bell and a failed hunt.Mon, 21 Jul 2008 18:53:48 GMTPeaLoki&Gabe
