Who knew leopards like to eat cats? Isn't that a kind of cannibalism? Brave guy to grab it, though.

What's amazing is that everybody lived, with only minor injuries.

At least everybody but the cat . . . they don't say about the cat.

But leopards are opportunists. They'll eat anything made of protein, even other leopards.

Shapira added that this was the first time he had ever encountered a leopard entering a home

Unusual, since leopards are usually spotted quite readily...

Quick thinking, to wait until it’s mouth was full before he grabbed at it - his kitty might not have been as appreciative of the technique though.

I thought they were born that way.

The picture shows a smaller animal than I was expecting. Still that is a very impressive feat! I have seen nature programs where a Leopard carried a deer sized kill up a tree.
No way a man could overpower a cat of that size.

Click on the link - not only did the pet survive with slight scratches, the Leopard was unhurt, and there’s a pic of the guy holding it by the scruff of it’s neck!

How it got in my pajamas, I'll never know.
