I had this puddy cat once. He was a hunter, fed off birds ,rabbits, lizards, rats, mice and snakes. When he wanted to. Mostly he just put on an act to get canned food. You see, this cat would get rather aggressive every time we brought fish home from fishing. He'd push in and try and steal the fish, even back off abit and taking running jumps onto the table or sink hoping to knock one off. Cat seriously lost the plot on the smell of fresh fish.
But one day we brought a 10 kg snapper home, bigger than him. We hadn't been home long when he came out of the paddock, we presumed he smelt the fresh fish. He got pretty close before he saw it. When he did, the ears twisted around 180 degrees and he slowly backed off to a safe distance.
But he watched us gut and clean it, from a distance, then went inside for his canned feed.
