If a cat can hunt, this may be the greatest joy for all cat owners. When you get home at the end of a long day, it can be quite disgusting to see the corpse of a furry rat at your feet. When you wake up on a Saturday morning and instead of toast and jam you see a mess of blood and feathers on your bed, it can be quite disgusting. So you would think of raising a cat to also hunt mice. This is actually the deep-rooted instinct of domestic cats.

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

Contrary to popular belief, cats do not always hunt because they are hungry or poorly cared for. Even when they are at their fullest, cats will engage in some predatory behavior. These energetic moments are often when cats are most playful and when predatory behavior patterns instinctively emerge. Just like cats will pounce on a toy hanging above their heads, they will move the object quickly with minimal reaction. At the same time, the cat will definitely get happiness when playing, such as stalking, swooping, and chasing, which are all related to hunting.

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