cat and deer

Cat tries to engage with a deer, but the deer is afraid. I was out for a walk in Winnipeg, Manitoba (Canada) with Jelly the cat when we met a whitetail deer.. they were very intrigued by each other.

Stomping their feet is a sign of warning to other deer and being ticked off. If you've ever been in the woods and hear what sounds like a ball being hit out of the park most likely an alpha for or buck. In the predawn hrs it can scare the bejezzus out of you until you know better.

[@newperve]

I love how once the cat realizes the deer is afraid he adopts a hunting stance.

[@richardbrown3055]

It’s amazing to watch instinct 100% take over as soon as the deer acts like a prey animal, as well as the fact you can see the cat have to literally try to shake it off when the woman calls it, specifically the difference in muscle tension between its regular state and predatory stalking.

[@hiimcrazyfordrwho]

Why you should never run when confronted by a wild animal. Prey runs. Another predator walks away.

[@fungames24]

They are not plains ape. They are caves ape. Everywhere they go, they recreate the cave enclosures to feel safe. The deer knows the cave apes don't live on the plains and therefore can't run after them.

[@augustovasconcellos7173]

@Norm T Does the deer _know_ we have no claws and no sharp teeth, though? Cats, for example, always keep those more or less hidden until it's time to use them. The reason why the deer was more concerned about the cat than the camerawoman was probably because only the cat was displaying aggressive intent at the time.

[@garyK.45ACP]

The "stomping" is a form of threat by the deer. Sometimes they will raise up and stomp with both front feet, just in case you don't take the hint. They will also "snort" to make a threatening noise. Note that the deer's ears are pointed at the cat, the nostrils are flared and the deer is using all his senses to evaluate this "thing". The tail is up. The deer is alarmed and ready. Aside from just a gesture, the deer's hooves are very sharp and can inflict a serious wound, probably even kill, a cat. The deer is alarmed but feels like he can handle this threat. But the deer's best defense is still to RUN, and usually that is what they will do if the cat pressed the issue.

@David Scales CWD or CWJ is a brain and nervous sytem disease. It jumped from cows, they think. Ultimately it goes back to crappy human practies. Feeding bovine bovine parts. "TSEs are a family of diseases thought to be caused by misfolded proteins called prions and includes similar diseases such as BSE (mad cow disease) in cattle, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in humans and scrapie in sheep" wikipedia

Yeah I believe they do have an instinct about that. Animals are smart in that way, they sense a lot, people are senseless in comparison, let's be real

[@errortryagainlater4240]

When you think about it, the cat probably looks a lot like a cougar cub to wild deer. It's probably panicking that there's a bigger cat nearby 💀

Cat was like: “Stay back mom, it’s dangerous out here”.

[@OriginalPuro]

If that's the cat's mother it means a human female fornicated with a cat and gave birth to that cat. That is disgusting.

[@livewellwitheds6885]

I love the cat boldly walking up. the deer backing away scared. the deer stomping its foot

[@Vinniegret]

Love when he drops into the pedator stalk/walk...deer says "well, it'spretty small...wait, what, no I'M OUT"

[@philcorrigan5641]

It’s funny how the deer knows that, despite its size, the cat is a predator and something to fear. I guess that’s what millions of years of being hunted and killed by felines will do to a species. And the cat’s relaxed attitude despite being in danger of being stomped suggests that it knows how the predator/prey relationship is supposed to work as well.

[@strangelee4400]

Yeah. You could tell something in that cats mind snapped back to the Serengeti and it's prey. "Just a burst of speed and I could be on that thing and a quick bite to the back of its neck and I could feed like a...oh wait, I'm just a house cat".

Yep, and when her owner called she was like "hark, the queen speaks! But she has not assumed the hunting position! She has ceded the kill to me! I shall not fail her!!"

[@dwightlangston5444]

Interesting theory. Not sure if she sees that thing as prey though. It could be protecting its territory and/ or owner. I've also seen a video where a cat attacks a bear that came on its porch.

[@tonyk501]

Fascinating to see millions of years of evolution and genetics at work here. That domesticated cat instinctively knew or understood enough that the deer represented a prey animal, but was too big for it to take down safely. So it instead stalked and communicated its territorial boundary to the deer in a show of intimidation. As for the deer, it also instinctively came to the understanding fairly quickly that it was looking at a predatorial creature, albeit a small one, and communicated its defensive posture accordingly.

[@felinefaye8550]

Oh that deer is challenging that kitty!! Look at those front leg stomps!!

[@carolmclauchlan1744]

My wee cat - now long dead - was like this; she was fearless. She used to answer to her name when I called, or come when I just clicked my fingers. God, I miss her fierce, brave spirit every day. RIP Tasha

[@iwonderwhatmydognamedme4000]

The way the deer is stomping their feet on the ground😂🥺

[@thejessing9911]

I’m pretty sure they do that to try to intimidate the dangerous animal, I’ve seen them do that a lot when I’m too close to them.

Stomping = No Stop The horses do it the cows too

[@Christy.1]

And skunks, just before they whip their hind end around to spray you. Had a mama deer do it to me when I stumbled on her and her baby. She was PISSED. Stomping like mad and snorting and slowly started coming at me backing me up-and I did.

[@keldonmcfarland2969]

I love the stalking-hunting instinct in cats. That cat knows that he should be able to take down and eat a fawn.
