I have seen trailcamera footage of a cougar bringing a live deer back to its cubs so they can learn how to kill. The cubs seemed confused, playing with the deer.
Another thing worth noting - most cats like to eat their prey intestines first without caring whether or not it's alive (for pre-digested fiber and other nutrients not common in meat). For larger cats that often hunt by leaping from above and breaking the neck in one stroke the prey will probably be dead, but otherwise they're probably not.
Our cat has only access to a confined (extremely high walls) garden (largely left to grow wild for environmental reasons) due to proximity to a road where people drive extremely badly, and still manages to occasionally succeed at bringing something in, usually dumping it at someone’s feet and going “ok you do it”.
So, really straightforward, in the context of bears eating people, someone implied that a cat will toy with you to death. I asked for evidence that they do this with primates, someone shared an anecdote about deer that isn't relevant to "bears eating people".
I'm not saying primates are exceptional, rather, that the story about deer is irrelevant.
Would you admit that it's relevant to "big cats eating animals"?
Primate == food; Deer == food
Why would one food be different?
