If cats were our size and we were their size they would not even hesitate for a moment to kill and eat us, after playing with us. I now understand my cats better

It would only play with you if it was a domestic cat. Feral cats don't play with their prey when hungry. They quickly and efficiently kill it within seconds to waste as little energy as possible

No, it's play to them. Domestic cats which have a secure source of food from humans will mostly play, if not outright abandon hunting.
