Cats

In cat culture, domestic cats are used to catch mice, while pet cats are trained not to catch mice. This is due to the different roles of cats. The skills of cats catching mice come from Mother’s teachings: If a cat leaves its mother since childhood and wants to have the ability to catch mice, it must be artificially trained.

According to research, cats are born with a natural instinct to "want to catch moving objects." Cats will reach out to catch anything that moves in front of them out of instinct and curiosity. It is a cat's nature to catch moving things, but the level of catching ability does need to be cultivated and trained.

When the bones, legs and feet of the cat’s body are developed, you can start training the cat to catch mice. When training a cat to catch mice at the beginning, the requirements should not be too harsh, and the training should be carried out from easy to difficult. At first, you can put the mouse and the cat in the same closed environment, and let the cat stay hungry with the mouse. First, let the cat learn how to chase mice, and then in the actual chasing and catching process, slowly let the cat learn how to ambush, sneak up on, and jump to catch mice. As the training time prolongs, the training environment space can be appropriately enlarged, and some obstacles can be set up in the training space to allow pet cats to experience the fun of real hunting and further improve the cat's ability to catch mice.

To train a cat to catch mice, you must master the accurate training time, and during the training process, you must not be too hasty and must proceed step by step. Trainers must tolerate cats’ mistakes and other behaviors during the training process, but breeders cannot blindly tolerate cats’ deliberate mistakes. During the training process, the trainer should provide clear rewards and punishments so that the cat can master the method of catching mice in the shortest possible time.
