Kittens do not hunt. By around 8-12 weeks if they are still with their mom, the mom teaches them how to hunt. They learn with their siblings to play-hunt and play-fight. However, many kittens never get a chance to chase or kill a live prey because they are housecats.

Yes. Kittens hunt and kill bugs, and will also hunt mice while being instructed in that skill by their mother cat. When they are doing that, they are predators. Larger carnivores, such as dogs, hawks, and rats, will hunt and kill kittens. When that is going on, they are prey.

Because cat's are rightfully nocternal animals (night time animals). Cats sleep for twelve hours everyday, eight of those hours are through the day. At night, a cat wakes up and wants to play.
