Tiger Moth

The Warning-Wing Moth. Tiger Moths in the Asota lineage use conspicuous wing patterns and chemical defences associated with their larval diets. Their biology shows how a visible warning can become useful when predators learn that the pattern predicts an unpleasant result.

• Blend into your environment when necessary to avoid unnecessary attention.

Tiger Moth depends mostly on animal protein. Cats are meat-focused hunters, even when they live in domestic settings rather than wild ones.

• Meat-based prey or complete meat-forward domestic food
• Small mammals and birds when hunting is possible
• Animal tissue rather than plant-heavy food sources

Wild context, owner care, and access to outdoor prey all affect exactly what an individual cat eats.
