    Neat. I have never seen one take out a live rat without striking.

    My blind ball Athena has done that. When I switched her from mice to rats, rather than strike at the bigger heat signature, she simply smashed the rat against the side of the tub and held it there until it died, then ate it.

    I have also had a few of my bigger girls pin the rat with a coil of body to get it right where they wanted it before striking.

    It's so weird when they do that! I have only caught it on camera once though


    My black pastel female loves to crush them against the side of the tub too!
