I have a question to ask

[Rocky'smomma]

I was reading this morning about Lions, and they are in the cat family right? well..it says the females do the work and the males only eat....I was telling Steve that Fluffy will end up being the mouse hunter since she is the one who seems interested in the mouse hole we have in our living room..Rocky just sits and watches her as she observes....Yall may think I am silly for asking, but are the females more of the hunters with cats like Lions are?
I found this info at this link

Sorry I didn't see this sooner.....

At the stables where I keep my horse are 3 "feral" if you can call them that (they won't come in a house but love people) cats. 2 females and 1 male (all neutered).

The females catch lots of mice/rats (and birds grrr) but the male (and ones before him) are lazy and eat what they don't.

I have been told by the yard owner that females do more hunting and males are lazier.

I believe the reason WHY females hunt is to provide food for their young.

??? And yet I've known some excellent male mousers. Perhaps they were atypical, but they were pretty darned good mousers anyway...
