Prey is fearful of predators. Predators often encounter prey that attempt to escape predation. Prey that moves towards the cat with confidence may be exhibiting an aggressive defensive posture. Cats often play with toys that behave more like fearful prey trying to escape than toys that mimic a more confrontational prey. Most cat games mimic a specific type of hunting; for example, balls, fingers, sticks, and laser pointers emulate insects, while rope or string may emulate a snake.
