Trolling at its finest: crow starts a nasty fight between 2 cats on a rooftop

So...the orange one is dead? :'(

That's what I was wondering too!

That's what I was wondering too!

Most cats are hardier than that. I've never come across an example of a cat killing another adult cat, just cases of a rival female killing another female's very young kittens.

Those territorial fights between males are usually about dominance and submission in the control of turf, but not death.

I hope the other cat was just lying there out of sight, exhausted and beaten, in full submission, and didn't succumb to internal injuries from their fall off the roof.

I had an adult tabby and then brought home a kitten and the older cat taught the younger how to fight. I observed them out in the alley one night harassing another cat that they had cornered. My older cat would beat up on the cat then switch off and let the younger take a few swats. It was like a tag team whoopass session.

How did the crow spark the fight? I see that he's pecking at them both but they fought on their own.

You obviously have zero actual experience with the scenario you are imagining from behind your keyboard, or you wouldn't have posted something so stupid and so generally wrong.

Did you really just use the "tough guy behind a keyboard" insult when talking about cats? We are talking about cats here, not defusing IED's in Afghanistan.

I'm not familiar with cat fight interplay, but maybe it could spark aggression. The same way ghetto rats smack around their pit bulls to make them surly.

Nice...
Crows are one of most intelligent creatures. Only three animals use tools on this planet besides humans: crows, chimpanzee and elephant....

Imagine: you're a crow on this video, cats are fooball players: NY Giants vs 49'ners(yesterday)...

Crows can more intelligent than human 4 y.o. baby.

I would not give any links to support my saying(s), because, who is more intelligent than 4 y.o. baby could be, could find all the links that would prove that crows are very intelligent...

Your post is full of all kinds of fail.

1. Reading comprehension fail: No, I did not use the "tough guy behind a keyboard" insult. I alluded to the fact that his opinion of how mother cats behave was strongly ignorant in the most basic sense, and that if he got out from behind his keyboard and into the real world and actually observed mother cats in action protecting their young (which I have), he would see this. Zero tough guy allusion found, Leroy.

2. Logic Fail: The subject, whether it is cats or defusing IED's in Aghanistan, has zero relevance to my post, despite your simplistically dimbulb belief that it does.

Other than that, great contribution! :thumbsup:

I don't know what that crow/magpie/hooded crow/corvus/other was attempting, but I do know that, in that video, the black cat had already determined to run the other cat off his turf before the bird ever got involved.

Same in the second video. The two male cats were involved in a classic turf battle. The crow may have been joining in because they were doing so near his nest.

I'm only familiar with my 2 kittiots. Neither of them really like to be held, but the girl tolerates it more than the tom. Anyway, I'll pick one up, and give it more attention than prudent, and if I put it down with a sibling close by, they'll take their frustration out on the sibling :^D If his sister isn't available, the tom will attack the back of my legs when I turn around :^D

That black cat took a beating, looks like it's missing some fur on its face after the fight is over. Wondering what happened to the other cat...

 

[KeithP]

Nice, but the crow didn't start that fight at all. The black one was looking to jump the other one all along. Turf battle. Just sayin'.

Yeah, that was my thinking as well. Those cats were going to go at it regardless if the bird was around or not. People see what they want to see <shrug>.

I think it's more entertaining that the crow was super interested in them fighting. Like a crowd gathering around a fight in the high school halls.

Get in your chair bitch, and stay there until I say you can come down!

I like the video, but the person who posted it is an idiot. The bird is defending it's nest and it's young. It's not bullying the cat.

Animals do the funniest shit. Cats go at it when they fight, they are no joke.
We have a blue jay (1) that is always by my house, that bird is mean as shit. It chases all the other birds off whenever we put food in the back.

 

[sandorski]

vid of 2 of the same type of birds ganging up on a cats and start a fight....actually they look like the same cats too. wierd but the i know the type of bird actually starts with an M...i just can't recall atm. but their notoriious for attacking cats.

*edit: i think the birds are called Magpies.

Magpies are much different. The Music on that Vid is almost perfect.

 

[sandorski]

This should give you a good idea of how smart these birds are: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYZnsO2ZgWo

That's smarter than some people would be under the same set of circumstances.

Impressive.
