You have absolutely no idea what a cat actually fighting or trying to kill something looks like. That cat isn't losing, it's playing. It's toying with the rat

That cat isn't losing, it's playing. It's toying with the rat and the "loss" was it repositioning to stalk it (the pressed to the ground body pose.)
Cats will fuck up all manner of wildlife an order of magnitude or two their weight.
- mark-r 3y agoOur cats have discovered that dead mice aren't any fun to play with, so they'll go to great lengths not to kill them. They'll pounce and stun them for a bit, then the mouse recovers and tries to scurry off - and the cycle repeats. Eventually the mouse finds a safe haven where a cat can't get to it.
