Had a black male cat once that played a kind of singles tennis match with mice he would catch in the yard. He would fling the little things so high, they qualified for frequent flier miles. After a few minutes he would deliver "the bite" and put them out of their misery. Then he would deposit them on the front steps for our approval...Good Boy! Don

It seems strange that intelligent hunters play with the prey. It may be a learning mode, or triumphalism.
My FEMALE DOG catches odd things like butterflies, moths and even bees, and plays with them for a while before the chop. Our garden is not an awfully safe place to be if you are of a certain size!!
