Hunting is a predatorial instict deeply woven into a cat. In the wild, cats hunt to survive, never passing up the chance to catch somthing. So when a house cat sees a rodent or a bird, they are likely to get a great desire to pounce on it. But cats do not just hunt things to eat them; sometimes they use a killed bird as a toy.
