When cats hunt, they first approach their prey quietly, and when they find the target, they will use all possible bunkers to approach the target carefully. The cat then presses its belly against the ground and moves forward in a rapid, sneaking motion, stopping briefly to focus on the prey. Repeat this to reach a shelter close to the prey and wait quietly for the attack. Then, the cat left the cover, kept its body close to the ground, and charged forward quickly. After entering the attacking distance, it raised its front and threw itself on the prey, and then gave the prey a fatal bite.
