"Feb. 14, 2013 — Dogs pick out faces of other dogs, irrespective of breeds, among human and other domestic and wild animal faces and can group them into a category of their own. They do that using visual cues alone, according to new research by Dr. Dominique Autier-Dérian from the LEEC and National Veterinary School in Lyon in France and colleagues."

I think cats are the same. A while back I had foster kittens in my house. Even though the kittens were the same size as a squirrel, my adult cat didn't mess with them. If I had a squirrel in the house, it wouldn't have lasted more than 5 minutes.
