Why Do Cats Play With Their Food?

I've always wondered myself. I went through three cats and they all look just revel in pushing, throwing around and generally make his prey out of this world as unpleasant as possible. Cats are really pure evil? 

Back to Savannah. When a cheetah (predator only) wants to kill a deer, he wants to make things as easy as possible for themselves. 

The first step would be to choose an easy target. A young, old, or injured prey to become much less of a struggle for a healthy animal at its best. 

It also helps if your career can stand out in some way. Even better if you can limit your movement using the environment (and in the case of hunters pack, purse, rinse tactics that are waiting to attack from different directions during hunting, etc.). 

Then comes the actual part of death. With my example cheetah, these cats do not have the strength to break the jaw is a trachea / neck animal, but may be closed and essentially suffocate their prey. This tactic is exhausting and can be very dangerous if you want to keep the dam place a fight to the finish, and all of them do.

So what's a better way? One strategy that can be compared with the guerrillas than anything. Hit and may not work, but he left behind. Hit the prey drive and do damage. Hopefully cause fractures and a lot of bleeding. Then just to stay behind and continue until the prey is weakened and begins to let down our guard, perhaps, then click again. Do this again and again to make a killing and minimize the risk to yourself. 

Now, it would not make sense with a little mouse or a bird, but the instincts do not always take exception. The cat is behind and slides his career from time to time to make sure he's dead. This is the normal predatory behavior and supported with his logic.A cornered animals can often be the most dangerous and ferocious form. 

Humans use this behavior as well. Take this old book called "The Art of War." It states that you have to hit your opponents when they are most vulnerable, when the promotion, and removed when moving removed. All very logical and it's pretty obvious why cats hunted this way.
