This is because rats are rich in taurine, which protects your cat’s eyes and can cause night blindness if they are chronically deficient. Mice like to be nocturnal and are found everywhere, which is simply a tasty treat tailor-made for cats who like to hunt at night.

That’s an interesting take! It makes a lot of sense that cats would be drawn to mice because they provide essential nutrients like taurine. As a cat owner myself, I always knew they had a natural hunting instinct, but the nutrient angle is fascinating. Also, since mice are nocturnal just like many cats, it’s like their schedules just align perfectly for a midnight snack. Anyone else noticed their cat prefers playing or hunting at night too? My kitty always seems most active after the sun goes down!
