Owl to Cat

I don't know how real it is, but it wouldn't suprise me:

This is a video of an owl geting scared, and quickly turning into what looks
like a cat:

Wow. I can imagine the ability to look something like a predator would
give an animal an evolutionary advantage. Of course, an owl is already a
predator, but perhaps felines are more scary? It was interesting how the
owl's ears became much more pointy and cat-like.

I've always thought owls' eyes were extremely cat-like. Maybe that's
one reason I like them.

But why do people have to scare animals for amusement?

Here the opposite happens: Sometimes Blacky looks at me, head high up,
eyes wide open and ears pointing a little bit sidewards. He then looks
much like a big, black owl.

Scottish folds tend to look a bit owl-like, head on, if
they're looking at you with eyes wide open.
