My Keesa was a decent hunter and her technique was grab the neck and *roll*,
thereby twisting the neck.  Just watch fuzzies play with each other ...
they grab and roll.  I guess there might be other techniques as well that I
haven't seen.  But Keesa dispatched a pigeon in short order with that
technique.  Only a very abbreviated "squeek" got out before the bird was
dead (and neatly piled on her "stash" pile!).
