Is it normal for a cat to stalk flies and to fly in the air karate chopping ?

My cat does flying karate moves in the pursuit of flies and 9 times out of 10 he actually catches the fly, which is something I cannot do. I do not know how he knows karate, as I do not practice it and I do not watch karate movies.

Is it normal? He is a "Main Coon" type of cat.

    I think the ninjas learned their ways from the cats.. So naturally it would be hard wired into their brains

    Their whole brain is wired for that sort of action. Yours is not. Don't be jealous. ;)

            Especially tigers!

            Hey, you're a tiger aren't you. How about a chin rub? Oh, you like that? What about around your ears? Nice kitty. ;)

      He's a Ninja Tom (Ginger Tom). As he is a Main Coon he is as big as a small leopard. Google it.

    That would be fun to see. I have only one cat now and the only thing he karate chops are my feet when I'm in the bathroom!!

        Awww thanks. I had to put her down. She was 19. Had kidney failure. She lived long and happy. My other cat is 10 years old and a love bug. :)

    I really wish this post had a picture. I think it's normal. Cats do all sorts of amazing things.
