Merriam-Webster allows that a feral may be "either" "wild" or "escaped domestication". Our vet described our two as "semi-feral". They escaped the neighbours and moved in with us. They arrived house-trained but shy of humans, and have not fully settled even after five years here. They are very territorial and even chase away other members of their own family. They were obliged, however, by me, to leave their sister alone when she moved in to have a litter. They weigh 5 (female) and 10 kilos (male), and do not back down against other animals. They are reputed (by neighbours) to have killed interlopers.

More of a stray rather than a true feral cat. Feral cat wouldn't have stayed around for the cameraman, but would have run and hid.

Nobody's gonna talk about all the lasers shooting off?

The Jack wants to play with the cat. He’s trying to get the cat to chase him!

JRT is just having fun

My jack would have had that cat running

My Jack Russell would have that feral cat easily, and kill it in seconds,

😂😂😂😂👍

Where was this filmed... Manila?

Terriers meet their match in cats because a cat's instinct isn't to run. They use intelligence to fake out and distract, as well as fein strength and advantage in order to buy time to assess the situation and best escape. This confuses the ever living fuck out of an animal like a terrier who charges to provoke a chase that it will win thru persistence and also it's instinctual intelligence of the chase. Notice the cat doesn't stare down the dog, It instead calmly looks to where it wants to go which signals it is not a threat and just wants to leave. The thing is a cat will also take notice of the fact the other animals tend to look in that direction in response to the cat doing so. This the cat uses to it's advantage like a boxer feining movement. See, in this video the cat notices this mirroring and later uses the fact the dog looks where it looks to it's advantage. Also notice when the dog charges the cat it swats at the dog and/or charges back which freezes the dog because it's not the normal reaction of prey. This then leads to a strategy for the cat to fake and Fein it's way out of the situation without ever putting itself at the disadvantage of prey aka turning your back and running. Even more interesting is the cat did all that whilst keeping it's best tools in it's toolkit which is eluding with agility and speed. Cat's use their best weapon as a last resort, as an ace In the hole. They try and confuse first which only serves to exponentially increase their advantage of ellusiveness

I f-ing hate these things jrt

Ce n'est pas un JR...

Jack Russell ?? 🙄 Chihuahua vs feral cat

Lets not be fooled by JRT small size, it would kill the cat without the problem if she wanted to...

In my opinion, The Small JR Would've Kicked It's Ass If it had the chance to.

That’s not a jack Russell tho 🤦🏽‍♂️ Rat terrier maybeeee 🤷🏽‍♂️

ummm thats not feral feral cats are in groups thats a stray or just born wild

Russell Terrier can easily kill those cats -_- owner should be more careful

Any cat ever comes in my yard messing with my terrier he WILL get to know what a .22 hollow point feels like!

This Jack only wants to play - when they mean business they don't care how big and bad the other guy is, they just wade in, take the other guys' best shots, and it's death by Jack Russell.

I hate cats! My long legged JRT would have rushed in, shoulder charged and bowled over the cat and then shook it at the back of it's neck.... result. Then it would have come back into the house and been really friendly with anyone who was in there.

I hate dogs
