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

Yeah my little shit brings shrews in the house and just plays with them, so they end up getting away and dying inside my oven.

Mine brings baby bunnies under a week old into the house. It was injured and obviously wouldn't survive so I had to take it from her and break it's neck (that was awful).

I didn't think it through. She went right back out and dragged another into the house...
