We've had mice in the house this year. I have a cat, he goes outside, but he's neutered. And I've never actually seen him catch anything. How can I teach him to catch mice? Should I feed him less?

Cats rarely catch mice; female cats are better at it.

Oksana Well, what is, is. A cat comes from a good mouser. My neighbor's cat is young, not even a year old yet, but he catches mice and birds.

Our cat is neutered too, but he still catches mice. It probably depends on the breed.

Our cat is also neutered. When the cats got into the house, he was the first to go crazy. He would chase them until he calmed down

We live in an apartment, so this question doesn't really apply. I remember my sister got a cat, and her husband was so jealous that our cat would catch flies. Such a useful cat! We didn't learn that.
My friend's mom has a house in the countryside. When they put the cat on a diet, it started catching mice instead. No luck for him losing weight.

Valeriya Mine too! I'm thinking I need to feed him less, though. He's gotten used to living on sausages and mommy.

It's either given or it's not. It doesn't depend on castration and food

When they're full, they just lie around belly up 😁 I occasionally reduce their portion. He brings mice from the neighbors and catches birds in the yard 🫢

It seems to me that either cats are born with it and need to hunt, or they aren't and don't need it at all. All our cats, regardless of gender or breed, are hunters. My mom's cat constantly catches all sorts of flying pests, my grandpa's cat caught a sparrow and almost scratched the dog's eyes out for it – not to mention mice; grandpa is tired of collecting dead bodies around the yard. Before they passed, cats used to bring grandpa dead mice, birds, and snakes to bed. Like, supplies and gifts, so their owner could last a little longer without them… It's kind of sweet, of course (especially from the cats' perspective), but gross… Grandpa has lived in his country house for 15 years. When he moved in, there were tons of mice, and all three cats have been chasing and catching mice all these years.

My cats eat really well + roam the neighborhood... The female cat brings mice, birds, snakes, a mole 🤦 and the male cat is lazy, he can only devour what the female cat brings 😂

Mama Cats catch mice until they're a year old, then they just sleep and eat.

It depends on the cat, they're either born hunters or not)
