What should you do if your cat catches a mouse or a bird? Should you intervene, or not? As a cat owner, it’s best to be prepared for this eventuality. Even if your cat doesn’t seem to like hunting much, finding out what to do now will mean you’re ready to act when the time comes.
I’m a vet who used to work in a feline-only clinic, and I’ve also owned cats most of my life. I’ve been in this situation more than once. Although I don’t currently have a cat, my dog is quite happy catching the local wildlife, and I have to intervene often.
