In reply to the discussion: Oliver Serves Himself Dinner (not for the squeamish) [View all]Kali
(55,741 posts)31. ours have dry food out all the time, but they do enjoy the hunt
I had to cancel the last two chewy deliveries of cat food because they are not really eating much of it. spring is a busy time for rodents. around here this is also their job. house cats tend to just catch and play with mice if they ever even see them. or birds. our cats get scolded and any birds (or lizards) get taken away. they are pretty good about it. I find an occasional lizard or pile of feathers in the bathtub but mostly rodents are encouraged. - yes two of them are trained to take things to the tub. much easier to clean up. one never brings anything in, and one mostly eats his entire kill, but the girl cat is a little sloppy.

Interesting that the cats have food in their bowls but still chase other animals.

If a species really enjoys the hunt, kill and dinner chances of survival are higher?

I don't think dogs are boring, but they are fairly predictable in most cases.
