In this cute video, a cat suffering from some serious delusions of grandeur slinks up on a group of deer. But when it gets a look at the size of the herd, it decides to beat a hasty retreat.

We can't blame the cat for stalking the deer. After all, it's only doing what predators do. But when the full herd comes into view, the tables turn suddenly and kitty wisely starts to think twice about its decision.

Suddenly, kitty finds itself backed up against a car as six curious deer come in for a closer look. Since the cat is so obviously outmatched, it temporarily hides under the vehicle, then gives the herd a wide berth before marching dejectedly off. Foiled! Don't worry, kitty, you'll get 'em! Just be sure to bring some backup next time.
