I now they catch fish if given the chance, but will they also catch frogs? 🐸😺
Commonly people think cats only hunt rats and mice, but they also can hunt rare animals like cute birds.

Cats will kill and eat anything that doesn’t kill and eat them first. Which is why environmentally conscious cat owners keep them indoors where their damage to other specieses is reduced.
Though some frogs are poisonous and might be bad for them.

My cat will eat plastic wrapping left sitting out. So yeah, he would definitely try to eat a frog given the chance.
my cousin’s cat catches lizards and iguanas, I can’t imagine he’d leave frogs off the list
People often don’t like wild cats because they decimate the local bird population
but do they also decimate frog populations?
I have to think that if they can catch a thing that can fly away, a frog should be NP any time it’s on land.
But maybe instincts tell it the form is weird and associated with poisonous or even venomous (there’s like a group of species of frog that have pokey bits on the outside to inject venom into predators iirc). Same way they know snake shaped is dangerous
Tree frogs like to hang out on my windows at night (aka the bug buffet). And the cats absolutely love to watch them. If one gets within arm’s reach, they will try to swat it, not realizing of course the frog is on the outside.
One time a frog did sneak inside and found out that the air conditioning wasn’t worth the death wish.
They’ll eat them. Depending on the frog species, they may even do so more than once.
Without checking, yes. I would bet money on it.
Prey drive isn’t that selective.
Yeah, they’re curious and will try to eat most animals or plants. Frogs often carry harmful (to cats) bacteria and parasitic worms though…
Cats will eat your face after a couple days if you die in your house
