Another thing to keep in mind is that many wild animals now pass up carcasses because they have been poisoned(by farmers) and they know better than to eat them.

My cat will chase a bug and eat it more often then it will eat a dead bug that it found in the backyard.

You sound like a witch hunter, Lincoln. ::)

Yeah, I know what you mean. My cat Elvis once came into the house carrying a dead bird and flipped it high up in great joy.

Cats - love 'em or leave 'em.

;D

I find the instincts thing a little funny. I'm sure a lot of what K.A. says is true and at the least based on science but the whole predator/prey thing is an example of applying a human representation of things to something we don't have access to. Predators don't think about killing, not the way we do anyway, they mostly just do it when the opportunity arrises.
