Who knew leopards like to eat cats? Isn't that a kind of cannibalism? Brave guy to grab it, though.

What's amazing is that everybody lived, with only minor injuries.

At least everybody but the cat . . . they don't say about the cat.

But leopards are opportunists. They'll eat anything made of protein, even other leopards.

Shapira added that this was the first time he had ever encountered a leopard entering a home

Unusual, since leopards are usually spotted quite readily...

Quick thinking, to wait until it’s mouth was full before he grabbed at it - his kitty might not have been as appreciative of the technique though.

The picture shows a smaller animal than I was expecting. Still that is a very impressive feat! I have seen nature programs where a Leopard carried a deer sized kill up a tree.
No way a man could overpower a cat of that size.

The man, and the leopard, in question.

The leopard was not worried about leaving finger/paw prints?

Arthur Damush has grit. The only person I know of who would subdue a leopard with his bare hands it Tarzan.

Well, I’ve had a tiger in the bedroom before, but a leopard is new . . . .

Uh, bobcats here in the U.S. love housecats, I lost my beloved Mags to one about 6 months ago.

I think I'd be yelling something else, something not suited for a family website.

Cats in the wild seem to have no compunction about killing and occasionally eating each, if those wildlife documentaries are any guide - there have been reports of Bengal tigers killing and eating Asiatic lions in the Gir forest of India during times of drought, African lions will kill and eat leopards, and apparently cougars include bobcat on their menus.

Brave guy to grab it, though.

Absolutely - but it must have been a young, small leopard for him to have gotten away with it.
