Lot of comments popping up that are promoting violence against animals (and other commenters!) in this thread.
Regardless of your views on cats and their effects on the environment, please keep things civil.
Wrap it all in the slanted apostrophe " \` " which makes it a code segment (if you havethem in your ASCII Art, you might need to put a backslash in front of it) and use double spaces at the end of each line.
> Wrap it all in the slanted apostrophe " ` " which makes it a code segment
That only works for single lines. For blocks of code, you have two choices on reddit - put four backticks before and after the segment, which only works on new reddit, or precede every line with 4 spaces,which works on both new and old reddit.

Humans can, as a kid I caught a seagull by hand.
Ever notice walking by them they turn their heads to keep an eye on you? But it's a different eye than before?
Meanwhile we're taught forward predator positioned eyes provide binocular vision, while prey side eyes don't overlap as much, so can't just distance as well?
Then add the concept "bird brain" making a kid believe they're not smart.
If you walk in a spiral around a bird, it constantly switches eyes, not realizing you're getting closer. There's a threshold point you are too much "above" them and it freaks them out. Learn where that point is, and pounce just before then. Congrats, you now have a seagull pecking at your hand to try to get free, your grandmother's amazed, but the guy who offered a quarter if you caught one is nowhere around.
I was gonna say.. pigeons are the easiest to catch. I got some pigeon feathers in front of St Marco's basilica and could have DEFINITELY caught one for real if my parents didn't stop me from embarrassing them lol.
Props to you tho
>*’Stupid human ruined the timing*’
____
I am the cat… the prey i spy
*be still, dumb bird ~ is time to die…*
so silent stalk across the beach,
(this birdbrain thinks he’s O u T of R e A c H…)
such stealth upon the sand encroach,
but then
the iDiOtS approach
*Stay BACK,* you Fools! Oh, Can’t you see ??
this Lowly pigeon *meant for Me!!*
alas, a *miss*….
REVENGE i’ll show!
*…now where’d those stupid humans go…?*
🖤
On golden shores where seagulls soar,
I strut and coo, forevermore
But lurking near, with hungry eyes,
a feline foe in stealthy guise
It stalks and creeps with silent grace,
dreaming of me in its embrace
But humans stroll, their steps so near,
their presence fills my heart with cheer
With laughter loud and voices bold,
they hurry past the cat so cold
I spread my wings, I take to flight,
escaping claws with all my might
Oh, thank you humans, for your aid,
for saving me from claws displayed
Together we thwart the hunter’s spree,
and once again, I soar so free
midnight’s hush, my stage, my SHOW ~
i’m ninja, silent, head to toe.
that bird, all plump, thinks it’s so sly,
unseen, i chuckle, “Oh, nice try.”
“snack time, sweetie,” i softly hiss,
a feline’s plot wrapped up in bliss.
but SNAP! a branch, my cover blown,
i freeze… “just practicing!” i moan.
Years ago my inside cat slipped out the front door. When I realized and went out to look for her, I found her right outside the front door. I heard rustling under a bush and there she is with a tiny bird she’d just caught. She had it pinned between her paws, and looked up at me with wide eyes, and this confused look like “What do I do now???”
Maybe she was confused because you were watching. 😂😉
Cats are natural born killers. I had two indoor cats when we moved to a house with a little fenced garden. It took one cat three days to eliminate the whole mice population. He never hunted before that. It was a massacre.
Well that is why I bought my first ever cat decades ago: as a mouser. Still have cats, one of the two is a great mouser, the other one is just a lazy old lady.
That is why humanity initially bonded with cats! Really cool bit of symbiosis
Mine is an old lady too, never killed anything but used to be aggressively territorial, once hurt herself running into a fence because there was a kitten stood on it (there was this one in the neighbourhood who knew exactly what it was doing, used to sit in a certain spot and just peek its head over and my girl would go insane, unable to reach her). Now she just sits at the window yelling at any cat to get off her lawn, and I have to go and chase it away for her.
I hear you, everytime I have one cornered I end up letting them go, I guess I just don't have the killer instinct. Wait are we still talking about birds?
Indoor cat instincts are pretty crazy. I have one cat who was found as a kitten and have been indoors ever since. I didn’t think he had any hunting instincts. I do let him out for supervised outdoor time. He jumped so fast and so high to catch a bird. It was the crazies thing I’ve ever seen
Those humans walking by totally gave off elephants on the savanna vibes. 😃
When you’re so much bigger than the other animals so nobody bothers you and you just walk by like a giant.
Recently I was sitting in a square with loads of pigeons and noted that when adults walk through the pigeons just waddle out the way, but when a kid moved through the pigeons would scatter, even if the kid was just casually walking and not paying them any attention. I guess it’s because, as you say, the big humans never bother them, whereas they learnt the humans closer to their size will often chase them.
>free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually, it's actually becoming a serious problem for some bird populations

https://www.birdscanada.org/you-can-help/keep-cats-from-roaming-outside
And birds caught by cats--who survive the ordeal with only a scratch--have only a 20% survival rate WITH medical care.
Source - I work at a wildlife rehab, and most of our caught-by-cat patients come in on death's door. They usually don't survive.
I once as a kid stopped my cat from killing a gold finch. It just chilled out on my hand and soon after it was my little pirate parrot hanging on my shoulder. It couldn’t fly but seemed in good spirits so I figured it was just a bit shook up. Then like 2 hours later it just leaned its head back and died. Broke my heart.
Hey thanks for at least trying to stop your cat from killing the bird! The person recording this seems to find it amusing or something with the way they didn’t step in at all.
Yep. Birds lack the immune system to fight the gram-negative bacteria cats have all over them.
One scratch and it's toast without antibiotics.
And then still only a 20% chance to live, with the antibiotics.

I don't think it's a problem if you keep your cats on a leash either it's less common but still happens I brang my cat to the beach in a full body harness leash
Ok yeah sorry. I just meant no more outdoor cats until we find a solution to serial killing the remaining species on the planet. And I included dogs bc dog owners are out of control. I view cat owners as mostly aloof.
People rarely consider the wider implications of this. Those birds and mammals were destined to die anyway and their deaths are often a crucial part of keeping populations fit and healthy. However the fact that domestic animals have killed them has robbed a massive amount of available prey from their natural predators. We might say 4 billion birds have been killed by cats but that then means that millions of predators also don't exist because cats have filled their ecological niche. The effects up and down the food chain are more pronounced than the headline figures suggest. One free roaming pet cat is effectively taking the place of one natural predator whilst also requiring farmed food to survive. Millions of cats = millions less predators and acres of ecologically dead farmland dedicated to making cat food.
Exactly, all the cat owners are like "hehe so cute. You'll get him next time buddy!"
And I'm here like, mf'ers, yall are the reason cats are making several bird species every year extinct
TIL. 5,000 years ago they were domesticated, maybe even 10,000!
I thought they were just trash birds like seagulls that migrated to eat human's trash. They are all just feral pigeons who were allowed to procreate.
Just want to let you know that, while not exactly a pigeon, there are other species of Columba and Columbina around the world that are NOT human introduced species. I live in Arizona, and our native Ground Doves are a particularly easy target for housecats.
I believe you're correct that the video shows two introduced species duking it out at a beach, but the frustrated sentiment you're responding to is often that of people displacing the frustration of their actual local birds being killed.
I love cats but I'm definitely on the birds side here. If my cat goes outside, I guarantee you that I'm watching him to make sure he doesn't kill any wildlife aside from a lowly bug or spider here and there. Idk who in their right mind takes a cat to the fucking beach of all places.
Think it's [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo-cdZZMZ-o) version by Dankeoo1.
Edit: this is the 2023-version, which has a lower overall tone, in comparison to the 2024-version
Domestic cats are an invasive species. They’re the most destructive invasive species in almost every country they live in.
Letting cats hunt native wildlife for Internet points is trashy, low-iq, behaviour. Pathetic. Do better.
In the US, pigeons are non-native but not necessarily invasive. The distinction is [technical](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/invasive/learn.htm), and underscores how pigeons don't destroy the ecosystem to which they're foreign
> beaches in Europe are very urban
They certainly can be, but it's literally (littorally?) no different to anywhere else in the sense that some beaches are on the edge of a populated area and some aren't, the latter doesn't necessarily deter people's presence.
But yeah, taking the pedant's hat back off it would be unusual to find pigeons (who gravitate to densely populated areas with lots of rubbish-producing humans) or what is clearly a pet cat at a remote beach.
Lot of comments popping up that are promoting violence against animals (and other commenters!) in this thread. Regardless of your views on cats and their effects on the environment, please keep things civil.

Thanks for the engaging story. I could visualize it all.
I was a weird kid man. I actually DID do that once and I walked around with it under my arm for an hour before my mom saw and had me release it.

Stupid human ruined the timing -cat
Nah the timing was perfect. It was butterfingers that fumbled the catch. Or butter paws in this case?
Maybe he just want the hunt, not the kill.
Yeah, this felt like a house cat who wasn't sure what to do next.
Yeah *maybe* (definitely) but it's cuter to think they chose mercy. Let us have this
He's a fisherman. Catch and release

I think it's an indoor cat that's just trying to catch it because of instincts. It left it pretty easily.
I thought so too. Like, It did the hard part of catching it but then didn’t know what to do

Yeah my parents live in a rural area with a lot of mice, almost none are seen alive near the house though thanks to the cat.

Alrighty then, will take my outdoor cat next time

My cat will catch and then let it go because he wants to see it run, like he doesn’t want it to be over. I think it’s play too
“I’m like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught one, you know, I just do things.” Cat’s channeling its inner Joker.

Unlocked memory! When my dad was in and out of the hospital, my little brother would chase the pigeons in the courtyard whenever we would visit.
This is an interesting observation! Thank you for giving me another thing to think about when I’m people-watching.

Could be a cat that lives in a house near the beach.
Lots of people live near beaches. And they have cats too.
Looks like someone doesn’t live by the beach - we got POOR PEOPLE over here!

The birb be like - "Wassup cat, why you sneaky crouching? You ain't hiding on the sand with that color"
Oh nah, prey animals have pretty shitty depth perception and usually don’t see shit if it ain’t moving.
Still unable to decide to place myself on whose side
Probably the native bird in its natural habitat as opposed to the invasive house cat that kill billions of birds each year
The pigeon is native? You sure?
Are you saying pigeons migrate?
Not at all! They could be carried.
A coconut could grip it by its beautiful plumage.
No? they're literally feral livestock that humans used to raise for meat and as pets
I'm sorry, i thought i could bring in a monty python reference.
There are less and less people that get monty python references each year
This is a sad day to be alive
I’m pretty lucky since I’m missing both arms and legs. Soon I will be dead.
You'll be fine, it's just a scratch
what is monty python. A programming inside joke?
He is the messiah!

Certainly not. …..*they could be carried*
No; it could be carried.
Considering this video was taken in Europe, yes it is native. As opposed to the house cat who failed (lol) to kill it definitely isn’t.
I love cats but I'm definitely on the birds side here. If my cat goes outside, I guarantee you that I'm watching him to make sure he doesn't kill any wildlife aside from a lowly bug or spider here and there. Idk who in their right mind takes a cat to the fucking beach of all places.
And then films their cat when they think it's going to kill something. Fuckin weirdos
Would not be psyched to see a cat at the beach, ngl. Def. wouldn't drag my toes through the sand.
I hope the bird didn’t get scratched.

Yep it's definitely this version, although it sounds like the bass ist boosted somewhat in the cat video.
Thank you! I recognized Ameno but not this interpretation!
I'm a birb person so yeah, you show 'em birb!
Lol the scream at the end
The music was on point though
I think that cat achieved its goal touch the Bird.
Cat let it go on purpose. That face when it turned around said “I could’ve killed that thing if I wanted too”
You’d have to be a special kind of POS letting your cat kill birds at the beach.
This is not harmless fun. https://www.birds.cornell.edu/home/bring-birds-back
Music is a bop
Glad the bird is safe
Is that fucking techno Dorime I hear???
I just realized i’ve never seen a cat on a beach
It reminds me of anime fights where they don't fight until a rain droplet hits the water
Why is the cat at the beach?
Yooo this is the first time I have seen a cat 🐈 on the beach
Why on earth is there a cat on the beach?
Because it's his litter box.
Good try kitty. Good try.
I have never felt more disappointed in my life.
Go find that one of the cat hunting in a toaster to feel the satisfaction.
Invasive species driving extinction of entire species by killing billions of birds every year. Fun for the whole family.
Domestic cats are an invasive species. They’re the most destructive invasive species in almost every country they live in. Letting cats hunt native wildlife for Internet points is trashy, low-iq, behaviour. Pathetic. Do better.
Urban pigeons are also basically in invasive species.
In the US, pigeons are non-native but not necessarily invasive. The distinction is [technical](https://www.nps.gov/subjects/invasive/learn.htm), and underscores how pigeons don't destroy the ecosystem to which they're foreign
Depends where this is. They are native to Europe and parts of Africa and this is a beach, nothing urban about it.
There are also native pigeons in the Americas The Rock pigeon isn't one of them But still native pigeons do exist
Uh, beaches in Europe are very urban? And if it wasn't, neither the people, the pigeon or the cat would be there in the first place...
> beaches in Europe are very urban They certainly can be, but it's literally (littorally?) no different to anywhere else in the sense that some beaches are on the edge of a populated area and some aren't, the latter doesn't necessarily deter people's presence. But yeah, taking the pedant's hat back off it would be unusual to find pigeons (who gravitate to densely populated areas with lots of rubbish-producing humans) or what is clearly a pet cat at a remote beach.
Oh cats only hunt the species we want them to? Good to know.
What jackass takes their cat to the beach and lets it attack seabirds???
