Domestic Cats

Official Question Material
Prep: 30-40 Seconds

Domestic cats that are largely indoors 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. Domestic cats often fail to learn this skill, which is why you will see them "playing" with anything they catch, or they may bring the mouse to you to kill.
