It's worth noting that Felis familiaris can and will form into prides if the food is plentiful and the territory isn't. A pride of farmcats can and will kill troublesome foxes. A pride of severely feral cats will take down turkeys, too. (My grandfather lost a turkey to a group of feral cats.)

The two cats my mom lured in from the wilds (at present we live six miles from the nearest urbanization, and 12 from the next closest) are super affectionate... but also hyper skittish, and tightly bonded (despite being nipped as kittens)... They will sometimes hunt together and share kills. (we have a rodent problem in the county... and they keep the rodents largely out of the house. )
