If cats can prey, this may be the greatest happiness of all cat owners. When a long day is over and you come home, it can be quite disgusting to see the corpse of a fluffy rat under your feet. When you wake up on a Saturday morning not toast and jam, but blood and feathers in a mess on your bed, it's pretty disgusting. Therefore, you will think that raising a cat will also prey on mice, which is actually a deeply ingrained instinct of domestic cats.

Cats are naturally born hunters, and in fact, cats were first domesticated thousands of years ago for this very reason. When people first started growing crops and storing food, cats' extraordinary hunting abilities had been discovered. They play an important role in controlling the rodent problem, so we are lucky. Over the years, cats' sharp teeth and claws, special metabolic and digestive systems have allowed them to survive intact.

Contrary to popular belief, cat hunters are not all hungry or poorly cared for. Even when they are at their fullest, cats will engage in some predation. These energetic moments are often when cats are at their best, and are where predatory behavior patterns instinctively emerge. Just like cats will pounce on a toy hanging over their heads, they will move objects quickly with minimal reflexes. At the same time, when playing, cats must be happy, such as stalking, swooping, and chasing are all related to hunting.

This is not to say that all cats think that hunting is a simple fun and game. For some cats, becoming a skilled hunter requires practice and needs to be cultivated from an early age. Kittens are allowed to stay with their mothers, are taught all the most important hunting basics, and then the mothers begin to bring back prey (dead or alive) for accumulated practice and experimentation.
