Are cats not apex predators?

Being incidentally killed in a fight with another animal doesn't make you prey, btw. Prey means you are hunted as part of the diet of another species.

The Wikipedia page on cooperative hunting says that some 85-90% of hunting is done solitary, so I was totally wrong on that one.

House cats are commonly eaten by hawks and coyotes. I'm not sure to what extent that's true of small wild cats.
