Why does my cat brings home its prey?

Have you ever had the unpleasant experience of finding some poor dead creature in the slap-bang center of your kitchen floor? Or, worse yet, have their 'oh so innocent looking cat fell prey to a maimed right at his feet and acted as if he should be pleased about it?

If things like the above have happened to you, you must have wondered why your cat does. After all that you feed and feed to his good, right? So why feel the need for wildlife hunting, much less carry the dead or wounded, but the creatures still living at home?

A well cared for house cat does not hunt by starvation. The fact that she has no need to hunt does not mean she does not have the instinct. Cats are predators. When cats first came to live with humans thousands of years ago it was because of their hunting skills competent. Cats where he had learned that humans also had rodents. Humans learned how cats are held in the capture and death, thereby keeping the rodent population down. Would be many years after that cats became thought of as pets and are kept primarily for their team.

"So good, cats are natural hunters born, but why have to bring their catch home? "

It's just a theory about this, but the most likely explanation is that your cat sees you as a kitten incompetent schooling needs in the forms of hunting. spayed females are more likely to bring home their catch. Kitty can be deprived of the ability to reproduce, but it does retain maternal instinct it seems.

"So she thinks I have to learn to go hunting for food. But why has brought half dead mice and other creatures? "

Usually, the first catch a mother cat carries her kittens will be dead. She will eat the prey before the kittens – this is food, and this is how you eat it. Then mom moves to bring home prey that has injured and maimed. She just its capture in front of their kittens – this is the prey, and that is how you kill. Finally, she will begin to bring home safely captured, but the creatures. Mom you can go to the dam in front of her youth and show them how the stems, lunges and catches – this is the prey, and this is what you have to do before we can finish with it and eat it.

"Well Well, my cat thinks it's not enough that I know how to use a can opener, she thinks I should know how to hunt. It's nice her to look after my interest, but the dead, half eaten little or maimed animals disgust me. And I do not like his assassination wildlife, especially birds. How I can stop it? "

You can not deny their hunting instinct. To punish her in any way would be futile. Even showing his displeasure in their activities is likely to confuse, She has done a service and is not happy with it!

Cats hunt. Some more successfully than others, but they will. The only way to prevent Wildlife hunting is to keep them indoors. If you prefer your cat to enjoy the outdoors with his garrison a bell (attached to a breakaway collar for safety of your cat) will go a long way in preventing the destruction of wild birds.
