What's For Dinner?

BIRDS ON THE WING:

The African Serval eats a variety of small prey, but when he has a taste for fresh birds, he uses his remarkable long body to leap straight up in the air to catch the birds he flushes from the tall grass.

FRESH FISH:

Many wild cats like fresh fish when they can get it, but the Fishing Cat of Borneo specializes in aquatic cuisine.  Your housecat may avoid the water--most domestics hate it.  The Fishing Cat jumps right in.

FAST FOOD:

The cheetah catches medium sized prey like antelopes where speed is the secret of success.  With a burst of speed that would do well on a highway, they catch dinner to go.  They have to eat fast too, because they are often driven off their kills.

LEFTOVERS:

Despite their reputation as hunters, lions are willing to eat what they find unguarded.  They also eat what is guarded if it belongs to something smaller.  Their digestive tract is strong enough to eat old carrion (leftovers).

GRASS:

Yes, grass.  They don't eat very much, but once in a while a snack of grass seems to aid a cat's digestion.  Your domestic cat will also eat grass from time to time.  Wild cats have also been seen eating fruits and berries, though they strongly prefer meat.
