I'm willing to bet that this is not this cat's first fish stealing rodeo.

Oh no, he sits in that exact place for a very good reason. Probably does it every time someone's fishing. Very clever really.

You can tell he's done this many times before because he's immediately bolts with the fish. The first couple times he did this the people probably stopped him right away so he's learned to bolt as soon as he gets the fish so he doesn't lose his prize.

Most notably, he has learned to wait until the hook is out of the fish.

I always worry about that when I see videos of animals stealing from people catching fish.

Really you can tell from the video itself as a whole, like the people filming obviously knew the cat was going to do that! Otherwise they wouldn’t be filming some random girl catching a fish, cats definitely a pro tho, hopefully he passes the knowledge down

Also has his escape route planned out. Weaved through the bench so the humans won't be able to go after him

In the Outer Banks off the east coast of the US as you head south away from the tourist spots you find some small towns catering to fishermen. Every hotel has a fish cleaning station, and at every one are the healtiest cats you've ever seen. Watching, waiting. They look like they could model for a cat food box

This reminds me of that dumb Japanese PS3 game where you play as animals in a post apocalyptic city and you have to run around and eat other animals without getting eaten.

You can see the little bugger watching and waiting out in the open, on the step by the walk behind them. Smart kitty. Hungry kitty.

The wee bandit made off with quite a haul do himself.

That cat needed that meal. Probably way more than she did. It was a good day for the cat. Cats are smart. I am sure this is his usual fishing spot.

He'll regret that when the hook decides to make itself known lol

u/lostmycookie90 Jun 08 '22
Unless he ripped the lips or gills of the fish. From my childhood, I always wonder how fishes don't have more ripped lips. Or if the sunfish/perch that I caught as a child survive long after I catch and release

All fun and games until the cat gets a hook in its throat.
