My cat was an indoor cat but we'd let him out on the back deck at night. Until he realized he could jump off the handrail (onto the deck, not over the side) and catch bats put of the air.
My cat did it a few years ago. We still aren't sure how a bird got into the house, but one did and she snagged it mid flight. Still practically a kitten at the time too.
Me watching the hunt scenes: "Oh geez! Better watch out, Mr McFluffinz is a comin'!" (In the same baby voice I use to talk to my own cats when they stalk cat toys).

These cats are amazing, they can jump and snag birds right out of mid-air in pitch black darkness at an incredible 'hit rate'
