RE: Does your cat hunt - and how do you deal with it?
I think that the instinct to find food is always there, in any animal. However, in animals like dogs and cats, and probably even some birds; we have provided food for so long that now, both ourselves and the animal that we keep as a pet thinks that humans are spposed to provide food for an animal.
Of course, some pets are kept in the house, and they couldn't go out and hunt, even if they were inclined to do so; so it is not always that the animal does not want to find food; there is just no food for them to find, so why bother.
Most cats like to play with toys and pretend that they are hunting. They even have little games on the ipads for cats to pretend to hunt mice. I have never actually seen a cat doing this; but there are videos on youtube, and the cats seem to really enjoy it.
