this is a false thought process. a domesticated cat while wanting to "hunt and kill" can do so with toys indoors. Outdoor cats live miserable, short, disease and suffering-ridden lives. If feral, it can be true that they may not want to be indoors and then you need to offer them some protection from the elements and predators. Many rescues or vets will do a feral spay/neuter for a very low cost ($35?) which can stop the cycle.
Don't hold back, now. Haha. You probably live in town, and we live miles from anyone else. We lead very different lives.
It seems cruel to keep a live animal trapped in your house for entertainment. Our animals are all well cared for, and they all serve a purpose. We have guard dogs (Akbash & GP) for sheep/goats/hogs/cattle. They cover 12-20 miles a day on their own guarding stock and chasing bears and cats and coyotes.
Horses and cow dogs for working cattle. Cats provide rodent control. Cow dogs cover the same distance helping us feed and keeping cows out of the stack yard. The cats cover maybe 4 sq. miles hunting. They all come back home and cozy up at night and have their fill of feed and water. We play with them all of the time. Our working animals are partners and friends in the whole deal, and they lead the best lives.
My sister is the crazy cat lady who lives in town and takes all strays. They built a rear fence the cats can't escape, and she has 35-40 cats, inside and out. It is disgusting. I feel sorry for cats trapped in houses and dogs trapped in tiny yards, with no purpose other than to entertain humans. Their instincts are buried. They are fat and bored and desperate for attention. To each their own I guess.
I guarantee that your cat would rather kill a mouse/squirrel/bird if they knew how or had the opportunity. When we have kittens, in the evening, the momma cat will bring live or injured mice for every kitten, all within 10 minutes, so that they all can learn and play and eat and not have to share. She does it in the middle of the parking lot, so that she can catch and bring them back when the kittens lose them. It's awesome to watch, and it is 100% instinct based.
The animals come inside and stay inside when they want to. Before guard dogs, I would force the cats inside if the coyotes were around. Now the Pyrenees take care of that. I did have a skunk kill our good momma cat last year, which was heart-breaking. The dogs were on a bear and left the house unguarded, so bad things can happen.
