i once watched a cat eat a mouse right next to me.... the sounds alone are quite nasty, the way they crush the skull and the bones. they eat everything, except for the fur and the intestines, so in the end you are left with a small pile of bloody intestine and a piece of fur.

by comparison, the way snakes feed is really clean.

but it still does nothing for me.
I've never seen my cats eat mice, but feeding F/T pinkies and the occasional fuzzy to my water dragon was, in comparison to snakes, much messier. Especially since he always shook it, which often resulted in half a pinky flying across the enclosure and nasty little guts everywhere... Not to mention the crunching bones.

Anyway I prefer not to watch live feeding videos just because I don't like watching the prey die (I feed my BP F/T). But I agree with Satomi and Gerardo about people filming their snakes feeding with a disrespectful attitude towards the prey animal, and because so many people make those videos to show off their cool killer pet :/ Snakes are definitely impressive, but I get the feeling most people film feedings for the wrong reasons, if that makes sense?
