In a lighthearted exchange between a cat owner and her feline companion, the owner warned her cat not to throw a mouse at her, stating, "If you throw that mouse at me, you can forget about coming back into this house." To her surprise, the cat seemed unfazed by the warning and promptly tossed the mouse in her direction.
Cats are natural hunters, often catching mice, birds, and other small animals in the wild. However, for domesticated cats that do not face food scarcity, these creatures are less about sustenance and more about the thrill of the hunt. Once captured, many cats treat their prey as toys. This behavior can be quite distressing for owners who find themselves witnessing their beloved pets parading around with half-alive creatures.
A viral video on Weibo showcased a tabby cat playing with a large mouse on the floor. The cat appeared quite pleased with its catch. The owner recorded the moment and jokingly warned the cat not to fling the mouse at her. Unexpectedly, the cat stood up and flung the mouse towards the camera, causing the owner to scream in fright as the footage became momentarily chaotic. This incident vividly illustrates her shock and terror.
Viewers online reacted with amusement, commenting on how terrifying yet hilarious the video was. Many expressed empathy for the owner as they imagined a mouse flying towards their own faces. Comments included playful remarks such as "What a big boy!" and "I knew it would come flying." Others humorously noted, "Since you sincerely begged me not to do it, I will show mercy," indicating that this mischievous cat had successfully executed its prank on its owner.
This encounter highlights not only the playful nature of cats but also the delightful chaos they can bring into our lives.
