[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387107, member: 1233"] From what various vet students have told me over the years, cats learn to hunt when they are kittens. If they don't get it then, or they are not in a position where they are starving and have to hunt for food, they won't learn to hunt. Most learn it by about 8 weeks old. Of course they have to be big enough to be able to hunt, so an older kitten or young adult cat is a good choice. We have had excellent mousers and awful mousers and then we had Sammy. Sammy could hunt. But he wasn't very bright when it came to it. He once lost a mouse behind a small soccer ball. He kept walking around the ball and just could NOT find the mouse. It sat there very still in the shadow on one side of the ball. Of course we finally started laughing at Sammy so he came over to see if we had food. He was all hungry after all that work! [/QUOTE]
