Are all cats good mice catchers?
I’d be lying if I told you all cats were good for something. Don’t adopt a cat because you have a mouse problem; rather, adopt a cat because you want to enjoy his or her company for the next ten to twenty years. Not all cats are good mice catchers, so you may be stuck with a poor mouser. Unfortunately, there’s no behavioral, prescreening, test-drive ability (or return policy) to find out if the cat you’re about to adopt is a good mouser or not. It’s all in the genes, I’m afraid. Not all of us are the quarterback jock with good hand-eye coordination. My cat Echo is a great hunter. I keep him indoors so he doesn’t kill anything, but all the crawling bugs and moths that make it in the house meet a quick demise. My other cat, Seamus, is fatter and lazier and has stared at mice and neither moved nor cared. Could be you might just adopt a really fat, lazy cat.
