Do domestic cats kill squirrels?

PoC avatarPosted on November 12, 2019 by Michael BroadSeptember 30, 2020

Do domestic cats kill squirrels? Yes, they do but the percentage of house cats who are successful squirrel hunters is probably quite low despite the impression the pictures on this page provide. Depending on the individual cat, those allowed outside … Continue reading →

Cats have one interest, activity and pastime: hunting, which is a weakness in the human environment

PoC avatarPosted on November 10, 2019 by Michael BroadNovember 10, 2019

It is going to sound a bit weird to state this but it does affect the quality of life of the domestic cats. Let’s think about it. We, humans, have a range of interests and therefore a range of things … Continue reading →

How can I stop my cat hunting wildlife?

PoC avatarPosted on October 31, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 31, 2019

I think you can break the question down into two separate questions. In my experience, cat owners and people in general are far more concerned about domestic cats preying on birds than they are on mammals such as mice and … Continue reading →

Modern domestic cat is a poor rat catcher because their role is to be a companion

PoC avatarPosted on October 31, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 31, 2019

Compared to 2,000 years ago the modern domestic cat is smaller, pampered and flabby and not, in general (there will be exceptions), an effective rat catcher. As prey mice are safer and smaller. Modern domestic cats are 15% smaller than … Continue reading →

I can hear the mouse’s final defiant scream before he is killed by my cat

PoC avatarPosted on October 16, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 16, 2019

The execution nearly always takes place under my bed in the dead of the night. Until that moment I can hear the screams of a mouse at a distance as he vainly tries to fight off and escape my cat’s … Continue reading →

Kitten programmed to not let go of prey

PoC avatarPosted on September 13, 2019 by Michael BroadSeptember 13, 2019

Nature programmed the cat to hold onto prey tightly. This is amply demonstrated in this cute little video. Have you seen a kitten so determined to not let go of prey? We have to believe that this kitten believes that … Continue reading →

Two Vietnamese Bengal cats catch a ray of sunshine

PoC avatarPosted on July 8, 2019 by Michael BroadJuly 8, 2019

This is a video which shows of the amazing athletism and hunting drives of the domestic cat. In my considered view these are Bengal cats judging by their high contrast, donut (doughnut) markings. They live in Hanoi, Vietnam. There are … Continue reading →

Strapping video cameras to 16 outdoor domestic cats does not reveal anything new

What is displaced hunting in cats?

PoC avatarPosted on May 24, 2019 by Michael BroadMay 24, 2019
