Several years ago, I was walking down my block and saw a crow just standing in the middle of the street; there was no immediate danger since our street is very lightly traveled. Then I noticed, behind a tree, a cat stalking the apparently oblivious crow. The cat was doing the usual cat hunting moves, hunkering down low, creeping forward a few steps, stopping, and then creeping even closer. The cat got about two or three feet away behind the crow when, all of a sudden, the crow wheeled around, spreading its wing out fully and emitting the loudest, most chilling caw I ever heard. The cat was frozen for a split second, the leapt up, in fright, about two or so feet in the air looking like one of those cartoon cats, landed back down and ran away faster than I'd ever seen a cat run...
The crow just ruffled its wings and feathers a bit, turned back around, and resumed just standing there, in the middle of the street...
