Why do cats sometimes get in fights with their own feet and kick themselves in the face?
Nobody in here is serious haha!
One of a feline’s most devastating offensive/kill maneuvers is to grab its prey in its front paws belly to belly (claws out to keep hold), and use its more powerful back feet’s claws to slice through its prey’s belly. Repeatedly until the victims guts fall out, leaving the victim evicerated and slowly dying. What you are seeing when they are “playing” like that is them practicing a lethal combo move.
Even common housecats are murder machines. They don’t have bells because they are cute, the bells are to warn birds and squirrels of incoming doom. I’m serious, they are the #1 killer of small animals.
