I am not a cat guy finding most arrogant little air thieves, but there is one cat I respected for several years. She is gone now but what a personality.
It started a long while ago while I was working at the South Rim of Grand Canyon. I had stopped by a Ranger friends seasonal housing and as we talked we watched two mule deer does walk down his driveway towards the housing passing less than 15 yards from us. Out of nowhere this small kitten likely a stray from a nearby families litter could be seen in full sneak mode. The use of patience,timed movements, cover and terrain could be a lesson to us all. When one of the does came within striking range it was on as this kitten leaped onto the does neck. One of the funniest thing I had ever seen and I am unsure based on the look in the does face how she survived the perfectly executed strike without dying of cardiac arrest.
It made an impression on my Ranger buddy who adopted that cat who became a near constant companion to him for more than a decade. Though my cat allergies are pretty bad Ol' Weasel always got a pat on the head and a kind word as I knew we both had the heart of a hunter.
