“BORN IN CAPTIVITY.”

Yeah, and without instincts as a result? Gimme a break.

And as far as the argument goes regarding that ‘just because they were taunting the cat doesn’t mean they deserved to die’, well, just because someone drives 90 mph shouldn’t mean they have ‘earned a death sentence’, but few would argue that the 90 mph driver doesn’t bear the bulk of the blame when they slam it into the center divider.

The word instinct means a behavior that is built in, and doesnt have to be learned. No one has to teach a fish how to swim, or teCH a tiger to kill you when you pizz it off.

Watch out for your dog/cat/fish/bird as they all have “instincts.” Like many zoo experts have said, most animals born in captivity don’t want to get out or like changes to their environment.

Check out repinwi's FR homepage. If those "cute little kitties" weighed 200 pounds, and were hungry, she'd be Purina'd.

The naivete of some people is incredible.

My mamma cat (Russian Blue) was born domestic and a better hunter when let outside you could not find (as the rat, squirrel, and bird population in my area could tell you).

She was the most gentle cat you could ever see (unless you were a bird, rat, or squirrel).

Cats come by this stuff naturally (at least most of them). My big 22 pound Maine Coon, on the other hand doesn’t get the hunter spirit.
