"this is called the hunters crouch. keep your body low to the ground and your tail out straight while stalking it. low, but not brushing the ground. now, rabbit's are going to smell you before anything else, so always stay upwind, where the wind is blowing at you. you can smell them, but they can't smell you.
"stalk effiently and quietly, don't let them sense you," she explained and demonstrated, dainty paws moving in long strides, silent, green eyes focused on a leaf a tree length away. "keep your breathing quiet - hold it, if you must. once you're close enough, chase it to close the rest of the distance, since the closer you get, the more likely they'll sense you. once you're close enough, pounce using the strength in your hind legs, land on it with your front paws, claws out, and deliver a swift bite to the neck." the feline moved quickly to demonstrated on the leaf, pouncing and giving a mock killing bite to it before sitting up and turning back to the kit.
"if you're quick, the rabbit won't suffer any pain. it's difficult to master at first, but you get the hang of it. some cats, like stormhaze, for example, use different techniques, as he doesn't have front claws. mice and birds are a little different, but as the freshkill pile might tell you, we eat mostly rabbit."
