Not so. Our cats are avid "hunters" of anything which moves, and they've never been outside. Hunting behavior develops almost as soon as the cats can move around well - probably before six weeks. They stalk and pounce each other, mama (often good for a bat on the head), anything else that moves and a lot of things that don't. --- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Are you making this up as you go along? -- Dick Dunn {hao,ucbvax,allegra}!nbires!rcd (303)444-5710 x3086 ...Are you making this up as you go along?
