Sometimes I wonder why cats do not have the initiative to increase their capacity to catch mice?

Answer 1

Why would they need to?
They have Human Servants to feed and pamper them...why would they bother with rodents...yuck!! LOL

Cheers

Answer 2

Hunting is a skill kittens learn from their mothers. If they are not taught to hunt, they will usually be bad at it.

There was a PBS cat show a while back showing a mother cat nursing her babies with her friend, a pet mouse, climbing on her and the kittens. The commenter said that these kittens would probably never see mice as prey because their mother didn't.

A side note, why bother hunting with slaves who can open a can of food for them?

Why would they?

The majority of domestic cats are well-fed and have no need to hunt - most that do only do it for fun and don't end up eating the prey.

If you want your cat to catch more mice you'll have to starve him/her - and you're not about to do that are you!

wowww... its s good Q. i also wonder why cats so lazy to chase the mice and sometime they just watch mice playing in front of them.lazy cats!! probably they might found other important things to do. hehehe

Answer 5

if you are talking about a house cat its because they have enough food already and will only catch one out of instinct if they see one.
but if you lived on a farm with cats (like me) and they were outside all the time they would be "hunting" instead of lazing around and if they 'smell' a rat or mouse they will hunt it down.

unless you have a mouse plague at home I wouldn't suggest withdrawing the food supply of your cat.
