Territoriality and hunting

In the past it was thought that by giving less food to cats they would capture more prey, in reality this leads to a catkin of the hunting territory, moving them away from the area that they would like to garrison.

The hunting instinct is independent of the desire to eat and is always present in the cat.

territory

The territory of each cat is divisible into a "primary home", where the animal spells, sleeps, rests and gives birth and a "secondary home", marked with anal glands, which represents the sexual territory. p >

In the male this dwelling can reach 60 hectares, while in the female about 6. The territories hunting are overlapping, but if a cat invades a primary home of others, the fight is guaranteed.
