And so, a cat will hunt a mouse, even if he just had a dry food dinner at home. Because it’s in his blood – to hunt. Another experiment conducted by scientists shows that a cat, who is presented unlimited number of mice, one after the other, would first hunt, kill and eat, later, when he’s full, he would just hunt, kill and leave the mouse, and only when he’s exhausted, he will stop chasing the mouse, though he’d still follow it by a gaze. It means, cat hunts because of instinctive response, not because of hunger.
