Wildcats are mainly solitary, except during the mating period. It does not persist in attacking if prey manages to escape. When attacking large prey, it leaps upon the animal's back and attempts to bite the neck or carotid. It kills small prey by grabbing it in its claws and piercing the neck or occiput with its fangs.
