The reason why cats choose to catch mice is actually more to find a kind of fun, catching mice is just a cat in order to find a little happiness for their own lives, more to enjoy the process of catching cats and teasing mice. Many of the cats after catching the mouse, the first reaction is not to eat them, but to put the mouse on the ground and then constantly tease the mouse for fun, eating the mouse is purely a compulsion to act.
And now with the continuous improvement of living standards, cats no longer need to catch mice to eat in order to fill their stomachs, and over time their instincts have some degeneration, which is more clearly reflected in the body of pet cats, because their food sources are very stable simply do not need to worry about themselves, so the ability to hunt began to disappear. And in some parts of the countryside, cats naturally maintain the habit of catching mice.
The reason why these pet cats are particularly afraid of mice, in addition to their hunting instincts have begun to disappear, there is the most important point is that their growing environment has changed them. Pet cats from birth has been the care of the pooper scooper, and now the breeding of pet cats and cats are concentrated in the city, where it is difficult to survive, so many cats are estimated to have a few opportunities to see the mouse in their lives.
For pet cats who have never seen a mouse before and whose hunting instincts are starting to disappear again. The first time they see a mouse, it is a discovery of a new species for them. Although cats are particularly curious about everything new, mice are definitely not in this category. Pet cats will not have the idea of hunting rats, more afraid that rats will hurt themselves, so they will be more scared than the pooper scooper once they see one.
