    1. Cats are not born to catch mice, kittens catch mice often out of curiosity, and then slowly learn in this way, if it is older not to catch mice, it is not abnormal, if people are too doting and lead to cats dependent on humans, cats will not catch mice because they are hungry, just looking forward to humans to give it food, which is also the evolution of cats in the future. 2. The requirements of the older generation for cats are to be able to catch mice, and now the requirements for cats are to be able to entertain people. Nowadays, people basically live in cities, and rats are constantly biting on reinforced concrete, so rats are not very common!

    And cats don't seem to be of any use. Cats in big cities, if you put them in the countryside, it is estimated that few will catch mice, maybe some cats will chase by instinct, but they may not be able to chase!

    Before understanding these reasons, it is necessary to understand the question, that is, why did cats prey on mice in the first place? The reason for this has a lot to do with the cat's living conditions. There weren't many people who had cats before, and cats didn't have enough food to meet their survival needs, so they had to rely on their own strength to catch food.

    But one thing we need to know is that many cats have certain defects in their teeth. The rescue is that their digestive tract is not long enough, so this in turn affects their digestive function. When choosing food, they have to choose some foods that are easier to chew and can provide the energy that the body needs, so mice have become the best choice for them to eat.

    The size of mice is generally relatively small, and cats are more convenient when chewing, and mice can also be satisfied with energy supplementation.

    Cats are by nature to eat mice.

    Since cats cannot synthesize taurine in the body, if there is a long-term lack of taurine in the body, the cat will change from "clear at a glance" to "blind with open eyes" at night, and finally lose the ability to move at night. However, mice have this substance in their bodies, so cats can only make up for the lack of taurine in their bodies by constantly preying on mice, so as to maintain and improve their night vision and survive normally.

    Now domestic pet cats, because the nutrition is very good, and even the nutrition in the cat food is very comprehensive, so cats no longer need to prey on mice to supplement this substance, resulting in pet cats no longer eat mice.

    Shu went to the market every day to buy meat to feed the cats. A few years passed, and the old cat gave birth to kittens, and the kittens gave birth to kittens. These cats, who were accustomed to eating ready-made meat every day, did not even know that there were mice in the world; When you are hungry, you cry, and when you scream, you will have meat to eat.

    After eating, he was lazy, looking supple and happy. There was a rat infestation in the south of the city at the house of a scholar, and the rats in his house were walking around in groups, and some of the rats even fell into the tank, so he hurriedly borrowed a cat from Shu's house and went back.

    The cat of the Shu family saw those scurrying rats with their ears shrugged and stared at their eyes, black as lacquer, with red beards, and squeaked vigorously, and thought it was a monster, and followed the rats around on the edge of the tank, but they did not dare to jump down and catch the old man.

    The owner of the house couldn't help but get angry when he saw this, so he pushed the cat down. The cat was terrified and yelled at the mouse. After a long time, the mouse estimated that the cat had no other skills, so he bit its foot, and the cat escaped from the tank with all his might.
