This has been bugging me since i saw the first 'cute' .gif;
That's not cute - it's genetic killing behavior.
To grab your prey by the neck, drive your face into the throat, and proceed to gouge out the soft belly with your strong hind legs and sharpest, strongest claws is innately feline.
If you know nothing about big cats it might be cute - but I'm not buying it.
It's a playful 'practice' (like most young predator behavior) for the adult act of eviscerating your prey.
So...
....cute?
Still think so?
