RE: Does your cat hunt - and how do you deal with it?
I don't have a cat anymore, but I always loved cats,, and have a cat for almost all of my life. Some were hunters; others were not, and would not catch a mouse if you put it in front of them. One cat in particular hated mice, and he would run away of he even saw a mouse !
We had one beautiful blue Maltese cat back when the kids were little and we lived out in the country, and that cat was the best hunter that I have ever seen ! Grey would go out hunting and come home dragging a fat ground squirrel (gopher) that was almost as big as she was.
When Grey had a litter of kittens, she would hunt mice, birds, and gophers for them to eat all of the time, and that kept her busy all the time between feeding the kittens and hunting for rodents for them to eat.
Basically, I have no problem with a cat that wants to go out and hunt rodents. I don't like mice anywhere near the house, and having a few cats around goes a long way towards solving that problem. Farmers and ranchers will always have several cats out in their barns, and most feed stores also have a cat that sleeps in the back room and watches over the grain bins.
