Cats are predators and in the wild they actively hunt for their food, which usually consisted of small mammals and birds. This instinct is so deeply rooted that even pet cats will often catch mice and other small animals, even if it is not hungry.

Female cats are the big time predators. My cat Figaro has always been well fed but when she was younger (16 now) she'd bring me... eh... gifts. Lots of... gifts.
