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.

Too much editing in this clip
