“ | However, when calf meat was provided, the cats would run to the meat, pick it up in the mouth and take it into the pond. When the cat entered the water, the meat was released and sank to the bottom of the pond. The forepaws would then be alternately used to roll and knead the meat. The meat was then grasped between the forepaws and thrown away from the cat's body. The meat would then sink to the pond bottom and the sequence would begin anew. ... food washing and prey searching with the fore-paws has been previously reported only in ecologically similar (Lekagul and McNeely 1977) congener, the flat-headed cat ( Prionailurus planiceps) (Muul and Lim 1970). | ” |
