They don't chase down their prey in long chases. They tend to lie in wait or stalk their prey and pounce on it. They eat small mammals, birds, and anything else they can catch. Prey is killed with a bite to the back of the neck. Female cats will bring live prey back to young to teach them how to catch it.
Cats are territorial and have a variety of methods for marking their territory.
They will spray urine on objects, scratch trees and posts, rub their faces on things, and leave scat, or droppings, as a marker to let other cats know whose territory they are in. Male cats do more spraying than females do, although females do sometimes spray. If a cat feels threatened by the presence of a new cat, it may go out and re-mark its territory. Scratching trees and upright objects is a way for a cat to display its size to other cats. The higher the scratches, the bigger the cat.
