Cats against insects

If you take any cat and any fly, the picture will always be the same - the cat will immediately "stand", sometimes with sound effects - small howls with a trembling chin. In addition, according to the scheme - the cat pursues the fly, ignoring in the heat of the attack all the obstructing objects, catches it and ... eats it. Is it familiar? Alas, there are no cats indifferent to flies (as well as other insects - insects, butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, two-tailed birds, etc.) Muck, of course, but there is nothing to do - a hunting instinct, a natural reaction to catch a moving object.

The hunting instinct responsible for foraging is hereditary and remains unchanged throughout the life of the cat (!). Often, especially at home, a cat is engaged in capturing prey not because it is hungry, but to satisfy its passion for hunting. Well, the insects themselves are to blame for catching them and eating them - and do not move or run away, as it is their desire and the motive for fishing. So for cats, insect hunting is a normal phenomenon. And for domestic cats, perhaps the only entertainment.
