I have read about cats that if you need a mouser you should not worry about feeding it too much. Cats will catch mice even if well fed. Feeding it too little means it will start to scout for food far away from your place, thus catching mice elsewhere.
- aquark 14y agoThough once your cat is too well fed it might not be able to catch mice as effectively anymore
- mynameismiek 14y agoIt is a good thing I don't eat money!! There are plenty of fat programmers out there that program just as well as the skinny ones.
- jmspring 14y agoCompletely true. Our girl cat was a killing machine. Multiple gophers each weekend -- always presented them as presents. But she loves to eat and takes advantage of the fact the other cat doesn't eat as much. She's a pudgeball now and hasn't caught much in awhile (some of that is due to age...).
- Nick_C 14y ago> Our girl cat was a killing machine Very true. The female is the real hunter and the one to get if you are after a mouser. The male likes to lie in the sun, much like its owner.
- YZF 14y agoDomestic cats are somewhat unique in that they don't exhibit contra-freeloading. That is they prefer not to work to working. I guess they consider catching mice "play". :-)
