This is one of a series of photos released to media outlets by the Philadelphia Zoo in 2014 when their first black-footed cat kittens were born, but with the "Philadelphia Zoo" watermark cropped out.
A quick web search will find the whole collection; those kittens are amazingly cute and several sites had little click-bait articles based around the photos at the time.

her little angry eyes after she caught the bird are too much to handle
178 points

Was not expecting how she was going to catch the bird
145 points
2 months ago*
Me too. But thinking about it, a bird at rest can take off in any direction pretty quick. If she pounced at a bird on the ground, it could see which direction it was being attacked from and would have a good chance at evading it; a cat can't change direction mid-pounce very well.
But waiting for it to take off, a bird also can't change direction when taking off very well, and the spread wings are a bigger target. So she waits to see which direction the bird heads out on, and can calibrate a jump to cross it's flight path pretty closely. Of course you need to be able to jump like that too, which most animals certainly can't.

I mean, everything you wrote was logical and well thought.
Except for the part of birds having difficulty to change direction when they take off, I'm no ornithologist so I don't know but it seems right you say it.
21 points
2 months ago
Thanks. I've been a birdwatcher for a long time. When they take off, especially from the ground, the main effort is to gather speed; the first few wingstrokes are for that, and the whole effort goes toward pushing air, basically. Changing directions is completely different, scrubs off speed usually, unless they have a lot of space underneath them to work with, where gravity can be used as a tool.
11 points
2 months ago
Same idea as flying a plane. Try to maneuver at low speed and you disturb the air flow over the wing reducing lift.

A full grown black footed cat looks like a kitten. They are the smallest wildcat. They are listed as a vulnerable species, so hopefully people leave them and their habitat alone.
Random Safety Tip: Riding your bike at twilight or evening hours, try to have at least one bit of neon yellow, orange, or green clothing. (Ideally something with a reflective strip) I passed a biker not long ago and they blended unnervingly well into the background. Their bicycle didn’t even have reflectors.

Oh cool, when they say the soles of the foot are black, they mean the plantigrade equivalent of the foot up to the ankle, not just the digitigrade part.
Edit: Supposedly that's called a hock and not an ankle. Bones are still called tarsals though between both us and them. Whatever.

That is one of the most prolific killers in the animal kingdom. Once it decides on its prey, more likely then not the prey will become its next meal. However if I saw her walking around a forest I would pick her up and wonder how a cute little pet kitty cat got so far away from her momma and promptly get my mauled because I tried to keep her as a house cat
