However, cats can be prey for larger animals, such as:
* Birds of Prey: Hawks, owls, eagles
* Large Mammals: Coyotes, foxes, bobcats, wolves (especially when cats are young or sick)
* Snakes: Some snakes can eat adult cats, especially smaller breeds
* Alligators and Crocodiles: In areas where they coexist
* Domestic Dogs: Although not a natural predator, some dogs may attack cats
It's important to note that cats are skilled hunters and have developed instincts to avoid these predators, like climbing high, hiding, and using their sharp claws and teeth for defense.
