Can people not read? That wasn't a female golden eagle that killed the house cat but a MALE which avg less than7lbs! Do you really think it was bigger than the cat? And tbh there's no cases of servals or ocelots etc killing eagles head on. While if you look at the pics of eagles with dead cats you can tell they were head on because the cats got puncture wounds in the face and neck not the back of the head. Edit - wasn't aimed at you theropod First you said it was a norwegian forest cat and now a house cat? I don't why I even listened to you when you said it was a 20 pound cat. This is what a 8,6lb housecat looks like: I now think its a cat around 5 or 6 pounds Read the first line and just had to stop reading. Weasel a Norwegian forest cat IS A BREED of HOUSE CAT! My god dude |

I think you two got mixed up on the accounts. One was a norwegian forest cat and a male eagle, the other one was a house cat and a female eagle (is it really possible to tell that from a feather? Incredible, I think I’m gonna take some ornithology lessons!). Yea you can I do it all the time where I'm at. Feathers are plentiful lol |

The cats mouth was full of feather so it must have bit that eagle.

Because you seem to have such an aversion to sources and reasons! I did actually. Firstly (and hopefully for the last time), Olendorff 1976→ reports 8 cases of golden eagle predation on house cats in North America (keep in mind that’s only what made it into the scientific literature!), and I would be delighted if you would start looking at the papers I post. Secondly, this→:  That "kitten" may have damaged the eagle "to the point where it can't move", but not to the point were it couldn’t eat half of it. Considering the eagle had already consumed part of the cat, that "kitten" may not have been that small either. That is the account I talked about previously. Good find! |

Actually I think the female housecat also killed the Female golden eagle Whose corpse promptly resurrected and proceeded to eat the house cat. Nothing unusual about it. |

There were feathers in the cats mouth which means the cat bit the eagle... that eagle got pasteuella lol. Any animal bite should be considered extremely serious, possibly life-threatening. The bacteria found in the saliva and the mouth of a mammal can cause fatal septicemia (infection in the bloodstream) of a bird in very short order. Cat bites should be considered the most dangerous, as the Pasteurella bacteria commonly found in the feline mouth, are extremely hazardous to birds. Even a simple puncture by a tooth can result in a fatal infection. Scratches from claws are also extremely dangerous, as the risk of infection is very real. Margaret A. Wissman, |

If you don't think the cat was 20 pounds what was the point of posting 'they reach 20 pounds' . I think that cat is around 5 pounds now. btw they rarely get over 16 pounds but oh well. |

While infection is certainly possible, an eagle with a healthy immune system does not necessarily die immediately. It is also totally unclear whether the eagle was injured to a significant extent. The only thing that is clear is that it killed the cat after a struggle on the ground. So your believe is conjecture at best. |

It does not matter if it was 'injured to a certain extent' no bird is immune to pasteurella and it can be fatal for them  |

I think that cat is around 5 pounds now. btw they rarely get over 16 pounds but oh well. To show you they could attain sizes as big as bobcats. Omg can you not read? |
