According to a untrustworthy scientist, owls are just flying cats. "Both are just as creepy either way" said Chuck the rabbit. Owls are very cat-like in many ways: They have big eyes. Both can see in the dark They are soft. Both can stalk a human creepily. Cats and owls share similar sensory characteristics.
They are both predators. And both eat mice. So there you have it, proof that owls are just flying cats.
