But what about their killing instincts? Well, it turns out that cats are hardwired to hunt, with their brains being wired to respond to high-pitched sounds and fast movement. This means that even if your cat is a lazy furball, they still have the potential to be a lethal predator (just don't tell the mouse population).
In fact, some cat breeds are more prone to hunting than others, with the Bengal and Abyssinian breeds being particularly skilled predators. But don't worry, most house cats are too lazy to actually catch anything (unless it's a laser pointer, of course).
