However, the furry pet had no idea who it was up against. The standoff between the two lasted for five minutes.
In the video, the cat tries to knock out the bug, who apparently seems to be in a defensive stance the entire time.
When the cat felt that it's time to have it, the mantis reacted. The cat gets a nasty shock when the insect jumps on it and seems to attack the furry pet in revenge.
The cat then spends a good minute running around the yard in fear.
Don't miss the last part of the footage.
