It is a well-known phenomenon that cats love to eat mice, but few people know the physiological reasons. The research results of some scientists show that cats’ bodies lack a substance called taurine, and taurine is a chemical substance that improves mammals’ night vision.
But because cats themselves cannot synthesize Taurine, so they can only prey on rats in large quantities in order to maintain enough taurine in their bodies to maintain sharp vision at night and survive in the fierce competition in nature. However, pet cats raised by modern people can rarely eat rat meat, so their night vision ability has been greatly reduced.
Ragdoll cats are cats One is that they can eat mice, but as strictly indoor cats, there is no need for them to eat mice. Domestic cats evolved from wild cats. Although wild cats are carnivores like other big cats, they do not hunt in groups, so they will only hunt animals much smaller than themselves. Moreover, Ragdoll cats are artificially bred, and they do not have the talent to catch mice. Therefore, owners of Ragdoll cats should not think that their cats can catch mice.
