Cats

Cats are tiny, carnivorous creatures that have been tamed by humans and are frequently kept as pets. They are the smallest members of the feline family. Cats have a flexible physique, pointed fangs, retractable claws, and rapid reflexes, just like the other felids. For nighttime hunting, they also have highly developed visual and smell senses.

Cats frequently hunt small birds and rodents, particularly squirrels, as their major prey. Pet cats are more likely to kill the squirrel and drag it to your doorway than feral cats, who can consume the squirrel's entire body after a hunt. Despite the high protein, moisture, and necessary nutrient content of squirrel meat and by-products, your cat won't eat the squirrel if its stomach is already full of kibble or wet food. You might need to change the cat's diet if it kills a squirrel and consumes the bones, organs, flesh, and blood vessels.

Your cat could hunt and eat squirrels every day in a hypothetical world where all diseases are nonexistent, but sadly, squirrels are not always healthy for your pet to consume. Wild cats can comfortably consume a squirrel's bones, meat, and flesh, while domestic cats raised on pet food are less adept at doing so. A little bone or bone fragment might cause a pet cat to choke or get stuck in its digestive system. An intestinal blockage necessitates urgent surgery, which can be costly and hazardous.
