Too cruel?

I'd like to teach my two rather wimpy kittens to hunt, or at least
to give them something entertaining and instructive to do.
I want them to be more like my girlfriends' cats, that cool cat
who killed bunnies and birds.

I am considering the idea of buying several small rodents from
the pet store and releasing them in the house. I'm very curious
to see how the kittens will react. Will they give chase? I
sure hope so.

Anway, am I crazy? Cruel? More importantly, will the
kitties benefit from this 'war game'? What kind of rodent should I buy?

Thanks

Yes, I think that's cruel. You are getting those rodents from a PET store,
they are meant to be pets.
I doubt the kitties will benefit. Get them some toys, it will be the same
thing.

I used to breed mice to feed my snake. One day I came home to their cage
being knocked over, and they were running around. My cats made several
friends that day....

I admire your honesty. Don't worry they will hunt! By instinct...it's
all built in...the very thing your wanting to teach them to do, will
become a nusiance. Yule come in the kitchen wanting some hot
coffee...still waking up, and you'll step on a cold dead bloddy
wabbit...before breakfast..

sorta like, the Godfather...big bloody scare!

Don't encourage the kids!

I suggest you also get a couple of 10 foot snakes so the kittens learn
how to avoid being prey themselves.

That's entirely unnecessary. Cats are instinctively very efficient
hunters, and really don't need that sort of training. Simple little
kitty toys work just as well to help them hone those skills.

I'd also argue that it's cruel, but I won't belabor that opinion. I'll
just repeat that there's simply no need to teach them what they already
instinctively know. Remember, right now they're kittens, not full-grown
terrors of the neighborhood. They'll be hunting soon enough.

Months of being a total pain in the ass, and you let
loose with this, which makes it all worth it.
