Make no mistake, your cat is a tiny killer. They are predators and no amount of socialization or domestication will take that natural instinct away from them.
In fact, feeding their hunting instinct is integral to their wellness. Indoor cats especially need mental stimulation and interactive cat toys are a great way to meet that need.
Implementing interactive play into your cats life will keep their physically fit and can be used to redirect destructive behavior. There are a variety of toys on the market specially designed to engage cats.
