And Ilphyl does, with cat-like reflexes, then quickly goes in for the killing bite at its neck while it is disoriented. Combat skill, but the normal set of skills a hunting cat might develop.
Rats are dangerous when cornered, and while Ilphyl can take more hits than the average tomcat, they also will lose concentration on the wildshape if they are critically injured AND they can't use their normal means of magical protection, because those are obviously magic. Hence going in quickly.
