Can someone tell me if it is the nature of cats just to kill for the sake of killing? My kitties caught and killed a rat the other night. I heard its screams and squeeks. Saw the carcass in the morning. It was intact (no blood or torn flesh).
Usually, they offer me their prey still alive but I must admit there were times when I found dead birds also intact (like they died of shock/heart failure).
Is this what they mean by "thrill of the hunt"?
