It honestly looks wild, if you have never watched a video of it you should it is hilarious.

I've had a few friends that had weasels and they did this to me. I thought it was just them being cute.
I did not realize that they were trying to build up their limit breaker to kill and eat me.
To be fair, a lot of 'play' behaviour in cats and dog is largely hunting instinct behaviour too.
They also do it when they play with each other, so they probably were just being cute.
It's fucking adorable: https://youtu.be/uZOjwzInj2g
Too much editing in this clip
With the editing of this, you can't really get a proper sense of it.
Furry slinkies

Roll, roll, roll, roll, roll, strike, retreat, roll, roll, potion, roll, roll, strike!
Did you mean: “Roll, roll, roll your stoat, gently down the stream”?
Ain't nothing gentle here.
"Rip and tear rodent throats out, so they'll never screeeeeaaaam"
(I know I know rabbits aren't rodents, but lagomorph is hard to put in a song)
Rip the rabbits throat out, so it cannot scream?
Go with bunny rather than rabbit, it fits better
merrily merrily merrily merrily life is for ice cream
If you run out of stamina, it's a skill issue
Artorius?
Uh oh, I'm in danger.
oh nm she just wanted a lap to sleep on
"He's got huge, sharp - eh - he can leap about - look at the bones!"
Twice the size of them...selves?
yeah wtf is that sentence. I think they meant "stoats hunt animals twice their size" and royally fucked it
Yeah, I wish there was more crossover between c/science_memes and c/grammar_and_composition_memes. What does that last sentence mean at all?
No punctuation either its like they just typed it out as it came to mind and they hit enter does anyone want a sandwich
So it's probably a bad idea to get a Weasel as a pet if you have cats, huh.
Edit: Or even a small dog
Can confirm. I had a ferret that would jump onto the back of our terrier after war dancing around it. After witnessing that a few times we kept them separated. Our dog had no chill and didn't want to play that way.
That's exactly how we hunted wooly mammoths.
Evolutionary origin of ADHD?
The writing on this though
Can we get one as a *Souls boss?
Over the course of 2 decades I had 8 different ferrets. They all did this; it was adorable and hilarious.
Once a stoat wandered through my apartment. At the time I had a bit of a mouse problem. It was so surreal seeing this white noodle slink across my floor like a living squirmle.
@rickyrigatoni@retrolemmy.com your people
...Wait until you read about how they feed/eat. Fucking brutal.
I R Baboon
At first I was a little annoyed by the change of "Revolt" messenger to "Stoat."
...I like it better now!
Saw it on the Big Island in Hawaii. Bat shit amazing.
