Kit-tays are cute, but they are still predators



The killer nature of kit-tays can get lost in all that cuteness, but it doesn't take much to remind you that kittens are born to be apex predators -- or, at least, they think they are. Sure, house cats aren't mountain lions, but they are close relatives to those apex predators, and, believe me, they have aspirations. Murder and Mayhem clearly fervently hope to be hunting and killing just as soon as possible. Doubt me?

Doubt not. A friend of Mrs. Wolves has gone on vacation, leaving with us her pet bird. Parakeet or whatever, I don't know. I just see a blue bird. The kit-tays just see food. As soon as Mrs. Wolves set up the cage, she had to move all furniture away from it because the kit-tays were climbing all over the cage, looking for a way in. Isolating the bird cage has not deterred the kit-tays, who still seek a way in:


That bird has to feel severely threatened the way those two watch her:


Someone is always on the lookout, just in case the bird comes out, or opens the door, or something. Hey, they're kit-tays, not rocket scientists. It could happen, right?


Mrs. Wolves asked, "What would they do with her if they caught her?" I just looked at her. She knows.
