You share your life with a cat who needs to be able to be herself in your care to be content in your home. This makes you wonder – does she still have a hunting instinct left over from her wild ancestors?
Your cat may not head outside to catch her next meal, but the idea of hunting down prey is certainly still present. This can be apparent during playtime, as your cat will likely be taking the time to stalk, chase after, and pounce on her toys. This allows her to mimic hunting and helps her hone in her skills a bit, even if she has a full bowl of her favorite food nearby. This instinct has helped her ancestors feed themselves for generations, and would also help your pet if she were on her own and in need of something to munch on. For additional information, please contact your local animal hospital London, ON. For tips, give your Firth Veterinary Hospital a call.
