Except treating the prey like food. The pred should let the prey know obviously that it's not a human being any longer but mere food with how things developed (And that's ideally done with a combination of the already mentioned things). That really pushes my buttons.
Same here. I like it when the preds argue about how they should cook the prey and talk like he/she's a piece of meat. The best example is this story by Beatrix Potter where the rats bake the cat. Another one is "The Snow Queen's Revenge" when the pig chef talks about how famous she'll be by cooking the bird and how she's going to prepare it, while the audience knows that the bird is very smart and thus all of her potential is wasted for making her a meal cooked by this fat pig. I also like it when preds tell the prey that they are nothing but a meal and ignore their pleads. However, another favourite of mine is teasing the prey about how it's going to disappear, or in the case of soul vore, how they are going to be sentient fat forever. Last, but not least, I enjoy it when the potential of the prey is wasted by making it nothing but a meal, as I mentioned above, shattering all it's dreams and hopes just to feed a predator. Of course I love it when a pred teases the prey with this fact.
