Cat: “Come out I’m hungry” Stoat: “Hey by any chance did you see my mail? No? I could have sworn I heard the mailman. I guess I’ll keep checking. Thanks!”
Cats kills stoats all the time - many reports of cats coming home with stoats draped in their mouths. A stoat might give a cat a nasty bite, but it's unlikely that they would kill a healthy cat - most cats are formidable predators
Actually, when comparing the two pound for pound, the stoat wins. If you scale up a stoat to the size of a cat, the stoat would probably kill the cat. The cat has the advantage on sheer size alone, and that's saying something because pound for pound the house cat is the deadliest predator in the entire cat family. But stoats and weasels are one of the very few predators even more deadly than a cat.
A stoat has 0 chance of killing a cat ( unless it’s a kitten ) there’s a couple videos of cats killing stoats. Cats kill ferrets and a ferret is bigger then a stoat.
I agree. The size disparity is too great. Very few things on earth smaller than a house cat (not counting things like parasites or poisonous bugs) are capable of killing a house cat. The "pound for pound" argument I mentioned earlier falls strictly within the hypothetical. I think a stoat could kill a house cat if the stoat was the same size as the cat but it isn't. Not even close. Without knowing the exact numbers, a house cat is probably about 10 times larger than a stoat. On the flipside of it, if you were to scale up a house cat to the size of a bengal tiger, the house cat would probably kill the tiger without even breaking a sweat. House cats are bad ass. Thank God they're as small as they are and that we're not on the menu =D
madcapper6 yeah if a house cat was the size of a lion or bigger. Humans would be in trouble. Once we got weapons like a gun the tables would turn. But not before a lot of humans would be tortured and slaughtered. And forget about trying to kill a cat with a bow or spear. A tiger sized house cat would be humanities worst nightmare. The speed of a tiger sized house cat would b pe unbelievably.
Stoat was smart to stay in that hole. The cat was ready to kill and torcher mr stoat. Cats are actually very good at dispatching a stoat. People have to remember a cat is no rabbit. I seen many stoats become a meal. Cats also love to leave dead stoats for a thank you offering for a cat owner..
Both animals are curious of the other yet at the same time both the cat and the stoat instinctively knows the other is a potential danger,resulting in a stand off.
No, the cat's instinct to hunt turns right on and it will kill that little thing in no time; it is no danger to the cat since the opponent is meant to be dispatched; however, for that stoat, it may have thought that could be a giant rabbit to be eaten, and that is one mistake that it will never be able to make again...
My Cats have brought me dead Stoats before, here in Vermont. I have a small one living under one of my wood stacks now, and our snow melted early so it is still bright white. I just spotted it myself today for the first time, that's why I'm here learnin' bout' Stoats.👍
SmalltimR Cats have incredible instincts when it come to fighting and defending their vital points! One hard bite from a Cat's teeth.........probably would go fully-through a stoat or weasel.

Mustelids are the family of animal that the wolverine and honey badger are. They can fight, hunt, and kill animals 10x their size. This cat does not know what he found.
@@WritingFighter cats and stoats know each other well. Both are widespread and common. Edit: as in this cat does know what its found. It knows in its bones. It knows by instinct. Animals regularly clearly recognise other animals despite there being no chance of those animals ever meeting in the wild. An american elk will instinctively run from a tiger or a polar bear.

My neighbours cat brought a stoat into their house and it pissed all over their kitchen. The smell was eye watering and took a lot of cleaning to get rid of it
Stoats can actually kill prey as large as that cat. They can sever the spinal cord at the neck with their teeth. The cat is in more danger than it realizes.
They also _fucking die_ whenever they get into their pointy little heads to try fighting substantially larger predators. Just because wolverines actually do try fighting bears doesn't make it any less suicidal. (Ditto the wildly overhyped honey badgers whenever they start shit with the big guys of the savannah.) Mustelids are infamously poor at judging odds.
That stoat thought today is its lucky day because there is a giant rabbit to be taken......but something in its says that it may be a dangerous rabbit....
It looks small and more in size a weasel? It's nervous system is firing very fast hence the twitchy head which possibly makes even the cat fatigue it's hunting concentration as well as general alertness and curiosity unlike a normal prey.
yes but 1) a rabbit is not a predator itself and can do little more than try to run and 2) would a stoats teeth be able to get through the rather thick fur around a cats neck? btw: my old cat killed an escaped ferret once and thats much bigger than a stoat.
That cat should have increased its chances of landing a meal by pretending to not see the stoat. That way, the stoat would come out and want to attack its neck and end up in the jaws of the cat.
Ricardo Kutz, I understand that so many of them get so used to eating the pellets and frisky that they are fed, but they are still natural predators and would very likely taste the kill.
Liger King That's a weasel actually. Stoats are much larger than weasels. I don't think you've seen a stoat. Search stoat on RUclips and see how much bigger they are. An actual stoat can kill a cat. Not a weasel.
The cat family are the dominant hunters in the animals kingdom. Their enemies are few, that Stoat smell dead in the air. It was very aware that its no match with that cat.
It would have been interesting but probably not long . The cats only flaw is at times they toy with rather than finish. Given a chance I think the cat would be surprised/impressed.
It is not a Stoat, that is a Weasel. Stoats are much larger and only slightly smaller than a domestic cat. Oh and the comment the below, I would love to see a rabbit that is 10 larger than a Stoat!
If you bet on the Stoat you would be wrong 9999 times out of 10000. Most 15 pound Housecats would bite a stoat once on the neck or in some other vital spot....... and that would be the end of it.
Животные
I love how Stoats look like they just drank 10 cups of coffee 24/7 lol.
Lol I was just think that too
It's better that way haha, especially when your life depends on your time reaction.
Llol
That's why they must eat about every 3 hours! A stoat can potentially die of starvation in less than 24 hours!
Their cousin the shrew is wound even tighter. Wired for sound. Must eat constantly.
should rename it to "Cat stared at stoat"
Stand Off
If a cat can avoid a snake's strike they definitely can avoid a stoat's strike, their reflex is damn fast
Holy cow, I must have lost the blinking contest 100 times with this cat. They really don't blink.
Utter concentration and Buddha-level patience. That's cats for you.
The best way to win a blinking contest is to tell yourself you just blinked.
Stoat: how quickly can I bite the back of its head??
Also stoat: not quickly enough.
Stoat would need to channel his inner Levi Ackerman to have a chance against the cat.
Cat: “Come out I’m hungry”
Stoat: “Hey by any chance did you see my mail? No? I could have sworn I heard the mailman. I guess I’ll keep checking. Thanks!”
