"Domestic cat" is referring to the species Felis catus. Strays and ferals are still the same species, just at different levels of human habituation.

Could be. I was on my bike, and they ran as soon as they saw me. Slightly larger than a German Shepherd but with a different body shape and longer legs. There's plenty of wild and domestic prey for them along the trail I ride, so not surprising they'd be hunting there. I'm usually out before sunrise and see a lot of wildlife that most people don't get to see.

No video was taken unfortunately because it was completely unexpected.This mama cat had had a few litters of kittens at this point and was always fine with our dogs being around them. She would sometimes bring them over to one of our dogs when she wanted a break. She was a very chill cat in general.

One day my sister brought her dog over who was about a 2 year old rotweiler. So they were fully grown but still had that curious puppy personality. Mama cat had recently had a litter of kittens which were young enough that they were still in the house in a padded laundry basket. My sisters dog was bound and determined to investigate these kittens. Being that mama cat didn't know this dog as well we knew that probably wasn't going to go over well, but the dog was determined enough that we figured we let them try and let them learn their own lesson when mama cat swatted them away. Well the dog went in for a sniff as mama cat was laying nearby watching. To our surprise she didn't seem to care for about 30 sec or so. Then very suddenly she morphed into a ball of fur, claws, and teeth and latched onto that poor dogs back. At that point the dog started panicking and screaming while sprinting around the house literally crapping theirself in fear while mama cat continued to give chase and maul them. We oppened the front door of the house to give the dog somewhere to escape to and the dog ran outside. Mama cat chased that poor dog around the property for a bit before chasing it up the driveway (rural property with a mile long driveway) and out of sight. About 5 min later mama cat came trotting back like nothing had happened. About 2 hours later my sisters dog started very timidly making their way back down the driveway towards the house. Surprisingly after that day mama cat and my sisters dog got along perfectly fine.
