Little-known cat lures prey by crying like a baby monkey
Margay's behavior displays psychological cunning that would make any bad guy proud.

I love how fast cat lovers get butt hurt at someone bashing on cats. All I have to say is watch "Gummo". And the margay comment was hilarious and clever. Don't be so butt hurt gay guy. Oh yeah pun intended.
Arguing over cats and dogs and exootic animals... This is about a really amazing adaptaion, and you guys continue about this. Lol, just lol.
There is no other word for you! It's because of people like you that our precious wildlife is disintegrating at such a rapid rate. Selfish, vain, arrogant wastes of life!
i've had multiple margays before, my mom used to keep margays because they were very pretty. exotic pets arre super easy to train once you take them to a vet to get shotted and stuff. most of them we put down becuase we wanted other exotic pets but they are very nice pets once u get to kno them. i've had about 4 in my house at one time. they like to hunt animals no matter wat you do. i've had collars put on them so if they try to leave to hunt other animals they get shocked. this works very.... More
Oh and by the way, you should be shocked every time you try to eat, just like you did to them, and then get put down just before you die of starvation. burn in hell.
Your a horrible person, its like if you had a child and you kill them because they arent 'special'. are you really okay with that?
what a ******* douchebag. you don't deserve to own animals. seriously. i hope you're arrested for animal abuse someday.
Or in this case, stop feeding the chirping margays, little monkeys.
YOU PUT THEM DOWN SO YOU COULD HAVE OTHER EXOTIC ANIMALS? WILL YOU THEN PUT THEM DOWN TO HAVE MORE? YOU SHOCKED THEM TO KEEP THEM FROM DOING WHAT COMES NATURALLY TO THEM? YOU SHOULD BE SHOCKED AND THEN PUT DOWN TO MAKE ROOM FOR SOMEONE WITH A LITTLE HUMANE DECENCY!!!!!!!!!
If you're not full of it with that comment you should be "put down" for being a selfish stupid sicko.
You are stupid if you commented on this at all. Except this comment is okay.
That's cool, but not surprising. My house cat attempts to chirp like a bird out the window to lure any unsuspecting prey to the house. She's a pretty good hunter when she gets out, so I guess it works for her too.
my cat does it too. First we thought a bird got into the house, then we realised the cat was chipping ! the weird thing is that when she does, she does not care about hunting at all! she's like lying on the grass going chip chip, just for the sake of it!
aww cats are wonderfull

Precisely why I hate cats-sneaky, cunning, and above all, FILTHY to have in your house. They use their litter box, kicking up all that nasty fecal matter/bacteria, like Toxoplasmosis, then, when you're not looking or not around, they walk all over your furniture, counter tops and table tops, spreading that filth everywhere! EEEEUUUUWWWW! Most cat lovers I've ever known have had less-than-disireable housekeeping habits, so go figure.
Do you wear your shoes in your house??
and I'm willing to bet you have no problem watching the dog lick his *** and then walk over and lick you all over the face.
cats are nasty and mean and smelly! i totally agree with you!
if you have no brain maybe these things will happen to you. otherwise you train your cat like everyone else. i have no litter box because my two cats use the toilet and they would never dare get on the counter. all this proves is that cats are intelligent and that you are a dumbass.
I don't know how you feel about other pets, but let's talk about dogs. Have you ever stepped in cat poo? Dog poo? That's what I thought. I don't allow my cats on the table or counters because I know their feet have been in the cat box. Above all, my house is quite clean, thank you.
Your kind of a brat, instead of appreciating this cool discovery, your whinning. Thanks for your complaint. Why don't you go complain somewhere else, the grown ups are discussing things now. Btw if you scoop the litter box daily then it shouldn't be disgusting, you should probably stop hanging out with filthy slobs, but I guess you are what you hang out with.
So, you've known a lot of cat lovers? And how many have gotten sick? Because I, in my 56 years, don't know a single person who has gotten sick from a cat, in any of the 7 countries I have lived in, or many more I have visited. As for them being "filthy", that's only in YOUR mind. Everyone knows that cats are among the cleaner pets you can keep. You're all wet and missed the point of the article. Go figure!!!

I've had cats for 10 years and have never had a problem with their "filth". They smell fine and are very well-groomed. Your comment makes it seem like cats are intentionally spreading their **** everywhere just to piss off humans. Should I call the waaahmbulance for you?
I've taken several veterinary science courses back in high school and you're only at risk for Toxoplasmosis if you don't clean after your pet. (Also, pregnant women are most at risk} If you didn't want your animal to be "filthy", maybe you should just try taking care of them for a go. Start from there, then talk. Don't let your pessimism ruin your chance of having a pet.
i think everyone has the right to choose the kind of pet they want, not all cats are the same and i don't really think it is appropriate to "bash" a cat just because it goes against your personal liking. please don't let your personal cat experiences ruin your idea of them... remember everyone of them is different along with their owner. this does not go just for cats, it is for every kind of pet :)
Why not a whale, then?
Or you? I chose you, so now how do we do? Do I have to pay your parents or just take you? I have the right, right? BTW, you'll be outside guarding my house, and hope you like rats.
My cats go outside to use the potty just like my dog (for the exact reason you stated)--which makes them no more filthy than any other animal. So my point is--you can have cats that are not "germ spreaders" if you live somewhere it is possible.
Mine too Jim, which is the norm in UK.
My animals are happy, I certainly don't believe in imprisonment for felines, its wrong, if it's too dangerous to let a cat out where you are, dont have a cat... simples!
Cats and dogs are ok, they get on, and live together very well, this crap about ooh dogs/cats are evil is bollox, get rid of your pets and get a life instead sad tossers!
The biggest problem with domestic cats is that they will kill local wildlife, this can be a positive thing in areas with 'sensible' cat populations, but there are so many PEOPLE that don't get their cats neutered, which leads to overpopulation of a predatory hunter.
Dogs are increasingly bred for their violent.... More
Before you go buying one of these beautiful creatures to keep as a house pet remember it's illegal in many states to have an exotic cat as a pet.
Modern house cats make sounds that emulate the sound of a human baby crying to manipulate human owners. An amazing adaptation. This story show the use of these adaptation in the wild.
Yes margays are beautiful wild cats who eat varied prey in the jungle. However they can be tamed just like housecats and make wonderful pets. The price tag is more then your common cat, and make sure you get your papers.
this beautiful animal is endangered (because of humans), yet here you are encouraging people to BUY them?!
ugh what the hell is wrong with people like you??
leave these beautiful animals in the jungle, where they BELONG!
we don't need to commodify EVERYTHING!
WHERE CAN I BUY A MARGAY!? I WOULD LOVE TO OWN A MARGAY THEY'RE SO CUTE AND I ALSO LIKE MONKEYS SO BAM! TWO BIRDS ONE STONE.
SERIOUSLY WHERE CAN I BUY ONE I LIVE IN A APARTMENT AND FEEL THIS WOULD SUIT IT PERFECTLY, CAUSE I'M GAY AND I HEARD THAT NOTHING IS MARGAY THAN OWNING A CAT. -SERIOUS REPLIES ONLY PLEASE :)
