Do people actually think indoor house cats who have been eating exclusively processed food will immediately hunt birds and small mammals on a walk instead of becoming scavengers or look for food around human. Cats definitely should not roam but I feel crazy from reading that claim thrown all the time
Hunting is instinctive, and cats (and dogs for that matter) don't kill when they're hungry. They hunt and kill because it's fun and they're fulfilling a natural behavior. Obviously, we can't blame them for this, but we do need to take this into account when we humans bring our foreign invasive species into places cats have never been. They're very good at killing all kinds of small things, there's a lot of cats, and small things are the foundation of an ecosystem— sometimes the only semblance of an ecosystem left in an area humans have been altering.
