∙ 15y agoHunting is a predatorial instinct that all cats share, but that doesn't mean that all cats will suddenly pounce on a mouse if they see one. Cats often attack birds and rodents for fun, and they use the animal as a toy rather than eating it. Some cats don't even have access to mice, but if a cat sees a mouse near-by it is likely that the cat will have the urge to pounce on it.
