What cats are best at is catching mice. At the same time, this is also the nature of cats. However, after being raised by humans, cats' courage gradually becomes smaller and their ability to catch mice is gradually weakening. Some cats have never even seen mice. So, can pet cats scare mice away?
Pet cats can scare mice away. Most mice choose to escape after seeing the cat, because this is the nature of mice. Cats may not catch mice, but for mice, cats still have a certain deterrent effect. However, some cats may also be scared by mice because they are too timid or too delicate.
Pet cats catch mice because mice are petite compared to cats and are easier for cats to catch and eat. Cats originally have a certain hunting instinct. This instinct actually undergoes systematic learning and training after they are born, so they can perform better. If our cat mother is good at hunting, then our kittens can learn hunting skills from their mothers and be good at catching mice. If the kittens are raised by our pet owners, their mouse capture skills are not so proficient; although they may also rush toward mice due to hunting instinct, their consciousness may be just playing with mice.
