The cat is a natural hunter of small animals, and is thus drawn by instinct towards anything that is small and moves. This includes animals such as birds, mice and fish, and non-living things such as balls, ribbons, and of course, laser beams.

∙ 6y agoIt is because cats, like all predatory animals, are sensitive to movement. A cat will chase things that move. It is their instincts that make them like this. The common behaviors of domesticated cats are related to the doings of big cats in the wild, such as the lions of Africa and the tigers of Siberian and the cheetahs of the Serengeti. So anything you see cats doing, it might just be their natural instincts, which of course are slightly different than ours.

Why do cats run away from dogs?
Not all dogs chase cats, but there are several reasons why a dog would chase a cat. Cats that are let outside usually roam, as they have quite large territories. Dogs, that perceive the house they live in as their territory, might chase off a cat if the dog feels like its territory is being threatened. Some dogs have a higher "chase" drive than others, and will just chase animals smaller than themselves for no other reason than to chase it. These reasons do not mean that dogs hate cats. Dogs and cats living in the same household are often very friendly towards each other.
