Both animals seem to be afraid of each other and posturing to scare the other off, so I expect this to end with them avoiding each other.

Wild animals always do this first, getting even a small injury can lead to infection and death.

But, when push comes to shove, they will of course attack. And that Owl would rip that kittys throat out in a split second.

They seem like dorky, docile birds. But they kill fucking eagels, they are probably the Apex predator of the skies.

Why have we never named a stealth bomber/ISR platform "The MQ-X Owl"?

Saw one take off by me on the trail. No one was on the trail, and it was quiet out. I didn't hear the owl at all. No branch rustle, and of course I didn't hear the wings flapping. In my brain I knew they were quiet, but seeing it and hearing absolutely nothing was so odd.

Ya, they have an incredible grip strength to go with those huge talons. That kitty's about to be toast.

Yeah my dad owns a lodge, took care of close to 20 strays there he fed daily and got fixed. One season a pair of owls moved into the roofing.

There are now zero cats there and no one knows why.
