Cats hunt using two basic methods: Stalk, run and pounce – this is very active and uses lots of energy in a short space of time. Stationary, sit and wait – which requires the cat to remain motionless for long periods of time and pounce only when the prey emerges from its hiding place.
How do cats hunt mice?
Cats typically hunt by stealth, approaching their prey slowly and with caution, crawling forward on their bellies until they pounce. Domestic cats that are largely indoor hunt less than outdoor cats because they don't have access to mice. In the wild, feral kittens are taught how to kill prey by their mothers.
How does a cat kill a mouse?
The cat will sever the spine of a rodent or bird with a strong bite. In doing so, the eyes or nose are accessible to prey that chooses to fight back. Rodents may be small, but they can be ferocious fighters. A mouse that is cornered and cannot escape will bite a stalking cat.
