you know, the cat probebly dosent know the rat and it might be scared. Plus mabey the cats mother hasent teached it to hunt when it was a baby. Just get thm to know each other and mabey theyll get along great. Also the rat could have another scent on it if it was at the vet of pet store. If this is the case rub the rat and the cat with a towel so the scent will come back
It could very well run away.
When cats run away from home, they typically travel up to 1-2 miles away.
It probably won't run to get away from a preditor, it will jump a meter high to get away.
this is a good answer above
It can be common for cats to run away, especially if they are outdoor cats or not properly supervised. Some cats may have a strong prey drive or be easily frightened, leading them to wander off. Making sure your cat is microchipped and has proper identification can increase the chances of them being returned home if they do go missing.
actually some cats do, it depends on if you have trained them to do it. the cats that don't come either have not beed traind to come on call, or they are just to idapendant. (cats are a verry independent race, that is why they often wander off to be by themselfs.)
All they do is run away until they get use to them
First, you should get at least 3-5 raw fish. to get a fish,you need a fishing rod made from sticks and string(from Spiders) and craft it in the crafting table. then fish in water and wait till it is pulled and press LT and there. feed the cat but be careful because it could run away. feed it and it should be tamed. you"ll know when its tamed. it changes color and style.
Your cat will run away and you'll have to get another cat from Gertrude.
Because It's a game to them or they want to get a way from it.
because they want to
Yes of coures they do male cats can not physically disapear unless the die or run away.
