Please spay and neuter your animals! While your newborn animals are cute, failing to do this allows your little darlings to add to the population of homeless pets. Adopt pets from your local animal rescues, there are plenty of animals just waiting for a home.

Hi mate!

While these 'deadly predators' may look like they pack a punch, you will be surprised to learn they are actually relatively harmless kittens.

Kittens are used world wide as house pets and often are left in the comfort of small children. While certainly a threat to a passing moth or door mouse I can assure they are far from deadly to you and I.

I can also assure you this 'savannah' is probably just a small section of a house lawn, maybe you have one just like it!

If you were to put these kittens in real savannah, they would be mauled to death instantly.

Hope this was helpful. :)

Code must be inputed manually. Copy and Paste is invalid.

A common belief says that cats always land on their feet; well they usually do - but not always. A cat can reflexively twist its body and right itself using its acute sense of balance and flexibility. This is known as a cat 'righting reflex'. It always rights itself the same way, provided it has the time to do so during a fall. Certain Cats that don't have a tail are a notable exception, since a cat moves its tail and relies on conservation of angular momentum to set up for landing.

You must not be familiar with barn cats. My barn cats, by that age, are already seasoned killing machines.

[–]Skelletonhand 2 points3 points ago

Have you ever seen a cat catch a crawfish? They stick their paw in the hole and when the feel a pincher they yank back real fast throwing it up and onto the grass.

The moment I saw "mate" in your post, you were automatically turned into Steve Irwin crouching excitedly in front of the camera.

Hi mate!

While these kittens may look harmless they actually pack a punch, you will be surprised to learn to mice, bugs, rats, birds, squirrels, etc they are deadly predators.

Kittens while used as world wide house pets and are safe around humans, can devastate small wildlife in an area.

Now this is absolutely a terrific picture and most worthy of the title! Thanks so much for sharing.

Ehh, close enough. They're all relatives of the big cats anyway. Just... less dangerous.

[–]thenoodledance 3 points4 points ago

I want one.

[–]IrateContender 3 points4 points ago

Do they know how Damn cute they are?!

[–]slipperygoose666 0 points1 point ago

You've mislead me I do not like being mislead You bastard

[–]pinkytheunicorn 1 point2 points ago

I know you're joking, but the domestic cat actually is able to hunt and kill more species than any other animal. Pretty surprising considering how they spend most of their time on keyboards and in sunbeams.

[–]TheActualAWdeV 1 point2 points ago

Keyboards and sunbeams are some of their prey as well. Along with fluffy toys and couches.

[–]hardrider2k4 2 points3 points ago

those are just cats on some grass....

[–]paisley_cat 1 point2 points ago

They shall pounce upon you with adorableness and then consume your heart!

[–]watchagonnado 1 point2 points ago

My cat thinks she's a lioness too. You can see it in the way she moves.
