I consider myself kind of a furry, and a feathery (even if that's such an obscure term I dunno if it's a real term or not pfff), and a cetacean fanatic (though I'm usually not as interested in anthro cetaceans, usually just normal looking ones). And I do really like animals in general.
Cats are my favorite pets, and I sometimes think of giant cat-like monsters or huge anthro cats as preds, and cat-girls or small anthro cats as prey, but I hate to think of normal, not-part-person cats being harmed, since I've gotten to know so many cats personally, and I find it much easier to become close friends with most cats than with most people :'D
And I have been very intrigued by cetaceans, especially dolphins, for many years. I think cetaceans make pretty cool preds, 'cause they tend to swallow prey whole when they can, only breaking it into chunks when necessary. Since they're technically in the ungulate family, they have a three chambered stomach. The first, or fore stomach... doesn't actually do digestion, but just stores food for awhile, and supposedly masticates (if I got correct info), so the prey would just get some squishing. The second, main chamber does most of the digestion. And the third, the pyloric stomach, finishes the digestion. It might be a stretch, but if one likes digestion (as I sometimes do), maybe one could have prey still with a bit of life left when they're poured from the second stomach to the third stomach. But a multi chambered stomach, with a digestion-free first chamber, also makes it easy to believably avoid digestion if one would prefer no digestion (as I also sometimes do, depending on my mood) XD
And although I have seen quite a bit of orca vore, and vore with bigger whale species as prey... And sometimes vore with some smaller dolphins and porpoises as prey... I think vore with some relatively smaller whales, dolphins (other than orcas) and maybe even porpoises as preds are underused. And sooner or later I'll probably do some, and might even post stories and art of this eventually, gulping down various creatures and people. Even bottlenose dolphins can grow up to almost 13 feet long, maybe occasionally even longer! (Probably couldn't actually swallow a person whole, but I find it fun to imagine ahaha)
Two that I imagine as preds in soft vore a lot, but are especially underused: false killer whales (technically dolphins), entirely dark, long and slim, quick and agile, not much smaller than an orca... and pilot whales, also primarily dark, and fairly large, but chunkier than false killer whales... Both sometimes hunt some of the smaller dolphin species like spinners (though both also sometimes associate with bottlenoses, which tend to be a bit bigger than spinners, but small compared to a false killer whale or a pilot whale)... Not too hard to imagine one of these creatures nomming a bottlenose, either just for fun, to keep in that first stomach chamber for awhile (and since a typical dolphin can hold its breath for 10 to 15 minutes, running out of air wouldn't be an issue for awhile), before spitting 'em up... Or a betrayal, hunger overcoming a friendship that might've lasted for many years, or the bigger dolphin getting mad at its little friend for some reason, or something.
Then there are pygmy killer whales, also technically dolphins, and another primarily dark colored one, but only about 7 to 8 feet long, even bottlenose dolphins can get bigger. But they are very aggressive, more so than actual killer whales, both toward humans and other cetaceans. And they probably actually do eat other cetaceans, both bigger than themselves and about the same size, but in real life it's probably just hard vore, and they probably couldn't swallow a creature as big as themselves in real life... but I sometimes still like to imagine them in same size soft vore anyway (and though I'm personally usually not interested in same size vore, cetaceans are an exception for me).
A beluga could make a fun pred, since it would be two to three times the size of an average person, and it can change its mouth shape, which could help it have fun teasing prey before gulping down.
And maybe even a little porpoise swallowing a scuba diver as big as itself or even a bit bigger, and then the scuba diver is stuck in that first stomach awhile and has to hope that the porpoise might spit him or her out before passing into the main stomach, or running out of air, or before a shark or killer whale gulps down the bloated porpoise.
Plus, since a lot of dolphins of most or maybe even all the species are often horny... it's not hard to imagine them trying out anal vore... or unbirthing... or cock vore... XD
Also, more avian preds in general would be really nice! I like how lots of birds have crops, and how they have their own interesting stomachs, with two parts. And cloaca vore could be interesting XD I do avian pred vore sometimes already, keeping to myself so far but maybe sometime I'll actually post some.
